Adios, Happy Homeland!
This critical look at the life of the Cuban writer pulls apart and reassembles the myths that have come to define her culture, blending illusion with reality and exploring themes of art, family, language, superstition, and the overwhelming need to escape--from the island, from memory, from stereotype, and, ultimately, from the self.
