In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd

De Cubaans-Amerikaanse schrijfster Ana Menéndez geeft op 6 april de tweede Cola Debrot-lezing in de Openbare Bibliotheek van Amsterdam. Over haar roman In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd schreef The New York Times:

Beautifully written and hauntingly evocative, Ana Menéndez’s collection of interrelated stories In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd gives an unforgettable glimpse of what it is like for Cuban exiles to begin their new lives in Miami. Whether touching upon love, family, aspirations, or memories, these stories are full of gentle humor and trenchant observation, nostalgic remembrance and corrosive longing. Menéndez is masterful in gracefully demonstrating how our heritage and our origins continue to shape our lives, even when we are far away from home.
