WAITING FOR FIDEL

A true story of the author’s legally questionable trip to Cuba in quest of a personal interview with Castro contains drama, comedy, local color, fascinating characters and strong rum. It is a revealing glimpse of the island nation today, filtered through an iconoclastic prism. Lloyd James has a youthful voice and a laconic style. His long pauses and affectation of coming to a full stop after every other phrase weary the listener. Y.R. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 00]
