“From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
Ironweed, a dramatic novel of love and revolution from one of America's finest writers. When
journalist Daniel Quinn meets Ernest Hemingway at the Floridita bar in Havana, Cuba,
in 1957, he has no idea that his own affinity for simple, declarative sentences
will change his life radically overnight. So begins William Kennedy's latest
novel-a tale of revolutionary intrigue, heroic journalism, crooked politicians,
drug-running gangsters, Albany
race riots, and the improbable rise of Fidel Castro. Quinn's epic journey
carries him through the nightclubs and jungles of Cuba
and into the newsrooms and racially charged streets of Albany on the day Robert Kennedy is fatally
shot in 1968. The odyssey brings Quinn, and his exotic but unpredictable Cuban
wife, Renata, a debutante revolutionary, face-to-face with the darkest facets
of human nature and illuminates the power of love in the presence of death. Kennedy
masterfully gathers together an unlikely cast of vivid characters in a
breathtaking adventure full of music, mysticism, and murder-a homeless black
alcoholic, a radical Catholic priest, a senile parent, a terminally ill jazz
legend, the imperious mayor of Albany,
Bing Crosby, Hemingway, Castro, and a ragtag ensemble of radicals, prostitutes,
provocateurs, and underworld heavies. This is an unforgettably riotous story of
revolution, romance, and redemption, set against the landscape of the civil
rights movement as it”
