Ulysses in San Juan by Robert Friedman

Ulysses in San Juan by Robert Friedman

Crime, corruption, and colonialism--as well as compassion, survival, and dark humor--are woven into The Puerto Rico Trilogy, which consists of three separate character-driven novels that focus on the Caribbean island and its complex political and social relationship with the U.S.

Ulysses in San Juan, the concluding novel, relates the relationship between a Jewish concentration camp survivor and a Puerto Rican female drug addict. It takes the reader on a trip into the San Juan underworld, as well to other island sites to meet crooked and upright and poignant and colorful characters.

As the personal and the political interconnect, it is revealed that several of the trilogy's characters have had their lives marked by such 20^th Century historical turning points as the Spanish Civil War, the Holocaust, the Cuban Revolution, and the Vietnamese War.

Friedman, Robert: - Robert Friedman has spent his entire professional career searching for Steinway grand pianos that have been loved and cared for over their many years, and occasionally decades, of ownership. Through his work over the past 40 years, these musical treasures have found their place in the hearts of new owners worldwide. With the help of the thousands of people in his network, his never-ending search continues for Steinways manufactured from 1853 to the present. Robert lives with his wife, Ronnie, in New York's beautiful Hudson Valley. Together they share seven children and thirteen grandchildren, spread far and wide. When he's not on the hunt for pianos, Robert enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, and playing guitars, drums, and pianos.
