Product Description:
Telex from Cuba
Review:
"Rachel Kushner’s debut novel is an absolute blinder... Like the sea which surrounds Cuba, Telex From Cuba is ever-shifting, and it is luminous" (The Times)
"If you relish glittering language that pursues emotional and political truth, you'll be enthralled by Telex from Cuba... the atmosphere seethes and crackles... [a] lush, intoxicating book" (Independent)
"Telex from Cuba is epic and enjoyable: the style is lush and precise; the parties and cookouts, the drinks and affairs are beautiful and poignant, full of the pleasures of wealth overshadowed by loss." (Anne Enright Guardian)
"Fascinating and vividly detailed... You can almost feel the heat radiating from the page: the air is mosquito-thick and tainted with a nickel oxide haze, the tropical landscape a character in its own right" (Observer)
"A piece of fiction quite breathtaking in its assurance [...] a beautifully weighted treatise on colonial attitudes, capitalism, racism and the interactions and divisions between cultures and classes" (Billy O'Callaghan Irish Examiner)
"A lush, meticulous, cinematic debut novel" (Elle)
"Kushner evokes a dreamlike paradise... A poignant tale" (Antonia Charlesworth Big Issue)
"[Kushner's] cleverly counterposed registers and nuanced explanation of the way we make and remake ourselves elevates her book beyond the standard historical romp" (David Annand Sunday Telegraph)
"Detail-packed prose" (Glasgow Herald)
"Deeply evocative... A fascinating and vividly detailed portrait of the country" (Natasha Tripney Observer)
