Publisher's Summary: ...an experimental novel that develops many forms in one: a novel of immigration from Cuba to Florida, an epistolary novel, a novel of a child coming of age by examining his family’s past experience and an ethnic autobiography which challenges the “American Dream.” The title comes from the name of a song and reflects the musical undercurrent and structure of the book. In all, the novel is a mosaic of Cuban American culture.
