A review by caroparr
Telex from Cuba by Rachel Kushner

3.0

Cuba in the fifties, when the sugar plantations and nickel mines were thriving, and Americans could make a lot of money and live higher on the hog than they ever could at home. Seen mostly through the eyes of the children, who notice the infidelities, the drinking, the racism, etc. Fierce but not bleak, this grew on me and by the end I was entirely caught up in the story and the characters.
