Repatriated from Cuba when he was 15 days old, at the age of 37 Juan Hernandez has captured the voices of exile and given them life in a series of 20+ monologues ranging from 1959 to present day. Humorous, touching, witty and fresh.

From the back cover of Cuban, That's All:

'Cuba in 1965 was no longer the paradise it had once been... There was, literally, nowhere else to go but out. So says The Shoebox Child, one of the many exiled voices in Cuban, Thats All!

Listen to the stories of assimilation as you travel from 1959 to the world of todays Cuban exiles.

Hear the voices of Camarioca, the Freedom Flights, Operacion Pedro Pan, the Mariel Boatlift and today with the pathos, humor and honesty that only Cubans can bring to their repatriation experience.

Laugh with Mayflower Mary as she tells you about her Cubano husband; cry with Luisito Dolor, a gay, Mariel boatlift refugee who spent time in a Cuban prison; meet all the voices as they embark with you on their journey toward their new homeland.

Juan Hernandez resides in South Florida. He is currently working on the novel and screenplay of Shoebox Child.

Cuban, That's All! is being marketed and distributed via Shoebox Child, Inc. an organization created to promote the endurance of the Cuban culture for current and future Cuban generations.
