33 Revolutions is a candid and moving story set in contemporary Cuba. When our hero finds himself alone, separated from his wife with his father dead and his mother fled to Spain, he soon learns about the disappointments of a generation that fully believed in the ideals of the Castro Revolution. It is a unique look into lives of ordinary people in Cuba over the past five decades and a stylish work of fiction about a young man's awakening.

Reviews for 33 Revolutions

Praise for <i><b>33 Revolutions</b></i> This unforgettable novel is not only a visceral rejection of CanekSanchez Guevara's political inheritance as Che Guevara's grandson but also a very personal cry for help. Jon Lee Anderson, author of <i>Che Guevara: A Political Life Not since Reinaldo Arenas has a Cuban literary voice arrived on American shores with such beaten madness, and sense of personal desperation. Nathaniel Popkin, <i>Cleaver Magazine</i>
