Argenis Luna, the protagonist, is as much a mythological character as a social outcast. After ten pages of living with him, we understand and love him. His contradictions are ours. Here is the story of the sons of many revolutions. Here is a life in two islands: Cuba to the Dominican Republic. Full of passion, contradictions, and the demolition of the old ideas of justice and equality in the pursuit of capital. This book is so full of universal ideas that we may sometimes think we are reading of our own day to day.
