"Havana knew me by my shoes," begins Tom Miller's lively and
entertaining account of his sojourn for more than eight months
traveling through Cuba, mixing with its literati and black
marketers, its cane cutters and cigar rollers. Granted
unprecedented access to travel throughout the country, the author
presents us with a rare insight into one of the world's only
Communist countries. Its best-known personalities and ordinary
citizens talk to him about the U.S. embargo and tell their favorite
Fidel jokes as they stand in line for bread at the Socialism or
Death Bakery. Miller provides a running commentary on Cuba's food
shortages, exotic sensuality, and baseball addiction as he follows
the scents of Graham Greene, Jose Marti, Ernest Hemingway, and the
Mambo Kings. The result of this informed and adventurous journey is
a vibrant, rhythmic portrait of a land and people too long shielded
from American eyes.
