Twain and Stanley Enter Paradise, the impeccably researched final
novel from the author of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love,
follows famed 19th century journalist-explorer Henry Stanley, his
wife, the painter Dorothy Tennant, and Stanley's long friendship
with Mark Twain, as they venture to Cuba in search of Stanley's
father. Told through a fictitious manuscript and imagined
correspondence between Stanley, Tennant, and Twain, Hijuelos
captures not only the general style of educated 19th century, but
manages to pull off the seemingly impossible task of channeling
Mark Twain himself. The manuscript--in the works for decades--was
found, whole and finished, by Hijuelos's widow after his death. As
a companion to the novel, an ebook will be released of Hijuelos'
short story "Another Spaniard in the Works" about a musician who
meets John Lennon. In the '60s, Lennon had published a book of
humorous writings and drawings called "A Spaniard in the Works" and
now Hijuelos brings Lennon to life through music and literature.
