La isla del cundeamor

Meer over het boek

Betty Boop and her fellow Cuban exiles in Miami lead lives of deadly seriousness that the author turns into fodder for his cannons of humor, parody, and wit. With dogs named Kafka and Marx, visits to the Tomb of the Unknown Dictator, world-class malaprops, outrageously mixed metaphors, and delightfully scrambled clichés, the story tumbles along, and the reader learns more about Cuba and Cubans from this ragtag group in exile than from many a book of Caribbean anthropology.
