A masterpiece

Superb mystery and suspense can mask the brilliant social critique and damning exposé. Larsson was on a mission with this series. His early death is such a tragic loss.

William Kennedy’s latest novel is a tale of revolutionary intrigue, heroic journalism, crooked politicians, drug-running gangsters, Albany race riots, and the improbable rise of Fidel Castro. The epic journey of Quinn carries him through the nightclubs and jungles of Cuba and into the newsrooms and racially charged streets of Albany on the day than Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated in 1968. The odyssey brings Quinn and his exotic Cuban wife, Renata, face-to-face with the darkest facets of human nature.

Stunning. Brilliant. A magnificent & epic story
Revisado: 12-13-20
This is a thrilling journey within America's 20th century. Revolution, romance, family secrets, supernatural forces, brutal dictatorship, corruption and sexual intrigue. And unlike the other male literary giants of his generation, he creates women characters who are strong, brilliant, in admirable control and sexually desirable because of their strengths and humanity.
Through the eyes of witnesses & protagonists of Cuba's overthrow of the oligarchy, and America's unseen but heroic protests & deadly slide to becoming one, Kennedy makes us question who we are and who we could become. Each sentence is an unexpected gift .
As a reader, it helps to know some of the history of Cuba, Hemingway, Tammany Hall style politics in NY and corruption in American cities and states. Kennedy treats his readers with respect. He expects them know stuff. If you get lost, it's because of things you don't know, not a weakness of the story.
