Book Reviews of Finding Maņana: A Memoir of a Cuban Exodus
Book Review: The Truth is in the Details
Summary: 5 Stars
I totally disagree with critics who complain about the excessive and irrelevant amount of detail in "Finding Manana."
English language readers are used to pragmatism in writing. People of Spanish ancestry who appreciate the richness of their language enjoy to immerse themselves in the particulars (Balzac style) however irrelevant or disconnected they might appear to be from the main plot. Both approaches to literature are in my opinion acceptable, but as a former Cuban refugee who reads and writes in two different languages I can perceive Ojito's "Cubanismo" behind her English writing style. I met the author by reading between the lines and found every single sentence and paragraph relevant and meaningful to the subject matter.
