Take a trip through the seedy underbelly of the Caribbean experience. Explore places you won't find in guidebooks, the secret alleyways where tour guides won't take you. Rey Andújar paints a picture of melancholy, sadness, confusion, exploration, hatred, and revenge all set before a backdrop of a region and a people struggling with modernity. "Andújar's sadism and experimentation makes for a difficult, harrowing, and ultimately unstoppable reading experience." -Andrew Hertzberg "[Andújar's] voice comes in at an oblique angle, unexpected, like the voice of Thelonius Monk's piano or the phrasing of the Cuban pianist Rubén González." -Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá.
