You have certainly taken Zadie's advice for writers to heart and go from strength to strength. I don't know when I've read a better essay. I never lived in Havana but I lived in Trinidad and feel that you've captured the essence of the Caribbean perfectly.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-72889018218877875642011-11-24T22:50:36.863+00:002011-11-24T22:50:36.863+00:00Thanks a lot for your comments.

Sometimes I worry that the only people able to understand what I'm on about are Cubans from my generation, but then, again, isn't that what I am? :-)<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-37903216213350041492011-11-24T14:55:15.852+00:002011-11-24T14:55:15.852+00:00A thoughtful tribute to your city.

El Malecón is yet another character in this tale; if not, the principal character. You have brought it to life in such detail that I feel as if I had spent a day and night in Havana. As you know, I am an avid fan of these sketches of Havana. Much like Miles Davis’ Sketches of Spain, they are spellbinding and memorable and unique. And so well written.

That's why I feel as if we were joined by the hip.<br /><br />I hope I'm not too late in celebrating my city, my culture and my roots.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-69413272211217001902011-11-20T12:53:32.684+00:002011-11-20T12:53:32.684+00:00Simply brilliant.Simply brilliant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
