King of Cuba
King of Cuba: A Novel | Cristina García
2 posts | 4 to read
A “darkly hilarious” (Elle) novel about a fictionalized Fidel Castro and an octogenarian Cuban exile obsessed with seeking revenge by the National Book Award finalist Cristina García, this “clever, well-conceived dual portrait shows what connects and divides Cubans inside and outside of the island” (Kirkus Reviews). Vivid and teeming with life, King of Cuba transports readers to Cuba and Miami, and into the heads of two larger-than-life men: a fictionalized Fidel Castro and an octogenarian Cuban exile obsessed with seeking revenge against the dictator. García’s masterful twinning of these characters combines with a rabble of other Cuban voices to portray the passions and realities of two Cubas—on the island and off— in a pulsating story that entertains and illuminates.

Today I was feeling a little restless after #readathon and needed to get out.. So I went to the bookstore. 😂ðŸ˜
My city has a library bookstore called Recycled Reads, where books that are no longer needed or donated to our library system are all collected in this store & sold at $1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardcovers. This was my haul! It totaled to $16. Have you read any of these?

read_diverse_books @merelybookish @LeahBergen It really is. 😠8y
Yamich49 Ari and Dante is one of my all time favorite books! â¤ï¸ 8y
silentrequiem Good haul! My library does something similar and it's marvelous. The only one I've read is Date and Aristotle and it was fantastic! Love Medicine is on my TBR list too. 8y
read_diverse_books @Yamich49 Same! That's why I had to own it in hardcover. I only had the paperback before. 8y
read_diverse_books @silentrequiem I hope all big cities have a similar program. It's great for huge booknerds like us. 8y
WOCreads Great haul!😠I really need to try Ruby since Resh has been recommending it too! 8y
BookishFeminist Great haul! Nice finds on the Aristotle & Dante and LaRose. 8y
Moray_Reads I loved Ghana Must Go. Ruby is on my to read shelf! 8y
Bibliogeekery That stack! 😠8y
read_diverse_books @Ifyoucanreadthis_Bina Yeah, Resh is the reason I want to read Ruby. Lol 8y
rachellayown What a great buy! Baldwin and Erdrich are two of my favorite writers. And some of those are on my TBR, including Ruby. 8y
kristenlcoates Fantastic haul! 8y
read_diverse_books @rachellayown Thanks! Glad to see we have similar taste in books! 😄 8y
read_diverse_books @kristenlcoates Thank you! 💖 8y
rachellayown Yes, we seem to! 😉 8y
prowlix Great haul! You can't go wrong with James Baldwin and Aristotle & Dante is amazing! I keep looking at Ruby but I'm not sure I'm up to reading TW right now 😓 8y
read_diverse_books @prowlix Glad you approve of my haul! 😊 I hope to read Ruby before the end of the year. I've read mixed reviews, but I think I'll be one of the readers who loves it. 8y
sj_connor LOVE MEDICINE IS SO GOOD 8y
read_diverse_books @sj_connor My next Erdrich book will be LaRose, but I have my eyes set on Love Medicine soon after. 💃 8y
Bookish.Heart Oh I'd love to have a bookstore like that. That's a steal! 8y
Aquedita Oh, I've been meaning to read Ruby ever since it was nominated for the Bailey's Prize. Heard very positive reviews. 8y
Smithkatiea Awesome opportunity! My library does a twice-yearly book sale with similar pricing plan. Though, on the last day of the sale, you can fill an entire bag for $5! Of your take, I've read Aristotle and Dante and To All the Boys... Happy reading! 7y
read_diverse_books @Smithkatiea twice yearly sales are good idea. This store is open all year and new books are added every day. But I probably shouldn't go more than twice a year. Hah 7y
