A €œdarkly hilarious€ (Elle) novel about a fictionalized Fidel Castro and an octogenarian Cuban exile obsessed with seeking revenge by the National Book Award finalist Cristina Garc­a, this €œclever, well-conceived dual portrait shows what connects and divides Cubans inside and outside of the island€ (Kirkus Reviews).

Vivid and teeming with life, King of Cuba transports readers to Cuba and Miami, and into the heads of two larger-than-life men: a fictionalized Fidel Castro and an octogenarian Cuban exile obsessed with seeking revenge against the dictator. Garc­a€s masterful twinning of these characters combines with a rabble of other Cuban voices to portray the passions and realities of two Cubas€"on the island and off€" in a pulsating story that entertains and illuminates.
