“The spirits of Oscare Wilde
and Evelyn Waugh glower benignly over this very funny first novel.... An
ingenious plot filled with surprises and glittering with hilarious, often
indecent inventions.”
—The New York Times Book Review |
"Amusing, observant. . . .
Doval’s sense of place and devastating depiction of prejudice in 1980s
Cuba make this a worthwhile debut."
—Miami
Herald |
"An intriguing glimpse into Castro's Cuba."
—Kirkus Reviews |
“Smutty, naughty and outrageously hilarious....
Brace yourself for a dickens of a good time.”
—Boston Globe |

the moral compunctions of an amoeba.
