Throughout the course of his three-month, 7,000-mile odyssey through Castro's Cuba, Christopher Baker's attention-getting vehicle afforded him instant entrée to a people both deprived of and obsessed by chrome and motorized wheels. From tobacco growers and prostitutes to fishermen and impassioned dissidents, Baker's spellbinding narrative introduces readers to a variety of vivacious Cubans in the throes of a slow and painful transition. Sharing his own gradual but profound change of heart about Castro's regime, the author mines the depths of Cuba's troubled history and politics and shines an unprecedented light on this stubbornly enigmatic country.
