Résumé
"|Our Hunger in Havana| is a book of personal memories of the 90s Cuban postwar period of peace that received the curious euphemism of "Special Period." In a tragicomic tone, the author describes and explains the debacle that brought cats… and banana skins to the status of delicacies, pigs to that of urban pets raised in bathtubs, and the practical disappearance of public transportation, gastronomy, and alcoholic beverages. A national catastrophe told through the personal experiences of one who worked in a school, a museum, and a cemetery while trying to be young, free, and happy at the worst time in Cuba's history." -- Translation provided by NLS
