Rachel Kushner has written an astonishingly wise, ambitious, and riveting novel set in the American community in Cuba during the years leading up to Castro’s revolution — a place that was a paradise for a time and for a few.

A dazzling and jarringly original erotic thriller. Try to imagine what might have happened if Gordon Merrick on steroids had written St. Elmo’s Fire and then stirred it up with William Hjortsberg’s Falling Angel.

This book reads like an IMAX spectacle about the power of male beauty, with red-hot icons, a breathless climax, and erotica that’s akin to Anais Nin on Viagra with a bump of meth…. More >>
