"There are many writers who think they know the city of Havana. But there are few who feel its pulse like their own heartbeat. Herman Portocarero is one of those rare writers. Fluidly moving between past and present, culture and politics, memoir and travelogue, (this) is a stunning homage to a city that casts a spell on all who experience it."--Ruth Behar, author of "An Island Called Home: Returning to Jewish Cuba" and Lucky Broken Girl.Girl.
