- catalog abstract "The Reader's Companion to Cuba offers nearly two dozen captivating eye-witness "reports" from visitors to Cuba's shores, among them Anais Nin's introduction to the "Fairyland" of Havana, Langston Hughes's surprising rumba party, an excursion around town with Fidel behind the wheel, Tommy Lasorda's baseball interview with pistol presiding, and Thomas Merton's pilgrimage to Our Lady of Cobre - a trip "nine-tenths vacation and one-tenth pilgrimage." From Arnold Samuelson's intimate portrait of Hemingway to Frank Ragano's recollections of the Mafia in Havana, The Reader's Companion to Cuba offers an infinitely more revealing and personal time-lapse "tour" of this complex country than could possibly be offered by any standard guidebook.".
