Cuba and the Night by Pico Iyer
Richard, the jaded photojournalist who is Iyer's narrator, thinks he believes in nothing. He knows that the most beautiful women cruising the Calle 21 aren't women at all. And he strongly suspects that the ravishing cubana named Lourdes is only looking for a ticket to America - just as Lourdes fears that she may be nothing more than Richard's Caribbean souvenir. Yet, almost against their will, these two people fall in love. And what ensues is a story of passion and regret that is moving, arousing, and voluptuously atmospheric. A story that could only be told by the noted travel writer Pico Iyer, it is an ironic paean to a place where everyone has two fatherlands: Cuba and the night.Pico Iyer is the author of fifteen novels that have been translated into twenty-three languages, and he has contributed to Time, The New York Times, Harper's Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and more than 250 other publications throughout the world for more than thirty years. More than ten million people have watched his four recent TED presentations. Picoiyer Journeys can be found at www.picoiyerjourneys.com.
