Publisher's Summary

Los relatos de Rivera, ha dicho el periodista Rene Jordan, trazan el trayecto inexorable hacia una revelacion siempre astuta y a menudo espeluznante.
He looks just like any other tourist. Why, then, is the secret police after him? In this award-winning story, Rivera's characters and their circumstances can be ridiculous or tragic but they share a sense of the absurd.

Please note: this audiobook is in Spanish.

Critic Reviews

"Each of the five stories in Varadero y otros cuentos cubanos (includng the prize-winning title piece) is refreshing, with disclosures and discoveries about the characters and the human experience that not only surprise but at times jolt the listener out of complacency. Author Rivera reads his own work, providing a consistent and well-paced narration. Highly ecommended." (Library Journal)

"Con una prosa envolvente, Frank Rivera desarrolla historias que a veces parecen sueños o recuerdos fragmentados, con cierta añoranza del cine y la novela negra norteamericana. Este escritor conoce a fondo su oficio." (VIDA Literaria)

"Rivera se inscribe en la rica tradición de narradores desde Edgar Allan Poe hasta Horacio Quiroga, que no sólo han elevado el cuento a su máxima expresión, sino que han indagado en el misterio mismo de la creación, de acuerdo con el escitor Jorge Ignacio Covarrubias." (El Nuevo Día, San Juan, Puerto Rico)
