"My grandfather once knocked down Ernest Hemingway, or so I was told..." So begins an intriguing journey of discovery in Cuba. Many years ago, Javier López Angulo met the celebrated writer and introduced him to Prohibition-era Havana, which throbbed with revolution and rumba. Now, his grandson returns to find out why their friendship ended so abruptly. This captivating novel evokes Cuba as Hemingway saw it, and Hemingway as Cubans saw him. Combining fact and fiction, Alfredo José Estrada deftly recreates the magical world of pre-Castro Cuba in a stunning literary debut. The Washington Post said "this may be the most enduring rehabilitation Hemingway has received in our time" and hailed it as "marvelously entertaining... a fascinating portrayal of Cuba in the 1930s." The New York Post called it "a siren song of romance [that's] hard to resist." Welcome to Havana Señor Hemingway will appeal not only to Hemingway fans and those interested in Cuba, but to anyone who appreciates richly detailed historical fiction.. Signed by Author.
