For me reading Waiting for Snow was just OK. I am glad to have read it particularly at this time when the US is reestablishing relations with Cuba. It was good to hear someone with such an Anti-Castro viewpoint to understand how many Cubans who are now U.S. citizens must feel.
ReplyDeleteI did not read every word he wrote, and at times it was hard to get through this book. It seemed a bit random how he put chapters together but they were short. I guess the book lacked a certain structure, for example toward the end the "orphanage" came up out of nowhere and I was confused.
I liked the Louis 16th stuff and the insertion of Spanish into the writing. I enjoyed the writing from memory writing style. Seems to me we all color reality with our own perceptions. That is why "search for the truth" is always such a struggle. It's hard to agree on just about anything.
