Cuban, That's All! strikes chord in second and third generation Cuban-Americans.
Cuban, That's All! - An Exile In Three Acts is one man's tribute to his culture and its history. 37 year old Juan Hernandez has written a series of 20+ monologues detailing the Cuban exile experience from 1959 to present day.
The monologues, as written by Hernandez, are witty, enticing, emotional and fresh. Each voice represents a page of Cuban history in exile. Some are in Spanish, some are in English and some are just plain both: Spanglish.
Hernandez's mix of humor and language will make you cry out loud and laugh while you wipe away the tears.
Live presentations with a cast of four (including the author) have met rave reviews by audiences and critics alike.
Cuban, That's All! An Exile In Three Acts is available for ordering from Barnes and Noble and/or any other major bookseller on the Web including Amazon.com.
Whether you are Cuban or not, whether you are an immigrant or not, these voices and stories will touch your heart and give you insight into the experience of anyone who has had to leave their homeland and live the life of an immigrant on borrowed territory.
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.
