Havana:
A Subtropical Delirium
In Havana, New York Times bestselling author Mark Kurlansky brings to pulsing life the always surprising city of tropical heat, ramshackle beauty, and its very own cadence.
Part cultural history, part travelogue, with recipes, historic engravings, photographs, and the author’s own pen-and-ink drawings throughout, Havana presents an insider’s view of the vibrant city Mark Kurlansky has come to know over more than thirty years—it’s singular music, literature, baseball, and food; it’s five centuries of outstanding, neglected architecture; and its extraordinary blend of cultures.
From Cuba’s status as a U.S. protectorate to Batista’s dictatorship and Castro’s revolution, from Soviet presence to the welcoming of capitalist tourism, Havana is a place of extremes, whose traces linger on its elegant and tattered surface. Weaving in vivid views of the city through the eyes of Cuban writers like José Martí, Alejo Carpentier, and Nicolás Guillén and foreign writers like John Muir, Ernest Hemingway, and Graham Greene, Kurlansky creates a multilayered and electrifying portrait that brings this long-elusive city stirringly to life.
“Kurlansky approaches Havana like an Impressionist painter, building the image of this metropolis of 2 million inhabitants with subtle brushstrokes.” —The Washington Post
“Kurlansky reaches back 500 years to track the city’s evolving history, separating out the different strands—Spanish, African, American, Russian; political, social, musical, culinary—that slowly steeped to create Havana’s piquant blend of static defiance.” —The New York Times, “Summer’s Best Travel Books”
