The Havana Papers
(eBook)
Description
With a 1958 portable typewriter in his suitcase, the writer wanders Havana's crumbling back alleys, bullet-sprayed museums, and grand hotels where the relics of the Revolution and the ghost of Hemingway still speak loudly. Whether getting grifted while watching a dubiously-billed piano player from the Buena Vista Social Club, dodging grifters and conmen, or wandering amongst over a million marble graves, The Havana Papers offers a rare glimpse into old Havana-a UNESCO World Heritage site-in the 21st Century. When his typewriter breaks in transit, the writer is forced to reconsider his writing holiday and put his novel on hold, until a new story emerges from the vibrance and history in the Old City-Habana Vieja. Travel beyond the postcard pictures and vibrant colors of the tourist facade, and into a world forgotten by time's advance, frozen in a fifties' imagination, and aching under the strain of modernity. The Havana Papers reveals a complex, contemporary portrait of one of the world's great historic cities.
