"A sad, surreal, beautiful tour of the hell that was Cuba in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The writing is hypnotic, the storytelling superb. Havana Lunar is perfect."--Tim McLoughlin, author of Heart of the Old Country, editor of Brooklyn Noir"Written with passion and vision and with a clear, unflinching eye, Robert Arellano's Havana Lunar breaks new ground. It is not a Cuban American novel but a Cuban novel written in English. In it the Cuban underworld of chulos and jineteras is revealed and the uber-world of political bosses and apparatchiks unmasked. I am certain that Havana Lunar will find a wide and enthusiastic readership."--Pablo Medina, author of The Cigar Roller"Robert Arellano's book is a hypnotic trip into another world, a place we are hardly ever allowed to go--Castro's Cuba. Without polarizing political pontifications or moral insertions of right and wrong, Arellano takes us straight into a country where people survive, combining resilience with ingenuity to keep the best of what works while simply sneaking around the things that don't. It's the way of life for most people who live under dictatorships--and yet the joy and beauty of this novel is how effortlessly he weaves his characters into our lives . . . It's as if Balzac meets Philip K. Dick, for Arellano's Cuba is a whole other planet to us, one we definitely need to know more about . . ."--Abraham Rodriguez, author of South by South Bronx
