Walking to Guantánamo by Richard Fleming PDF Summary

Book Description: First-time author Fleming pens a compelling and entertaining account of his walk across Cuba. Truth be told, he didn't walk from Pinar del RIo to Guantanamo, as he had envisioned, but occasionally biked on the famous Chinese-made Flying Pigeon or caught rides (both motorized and animal powered). He chronicles his travels in Cuba from several years ago (around the time of the Elian Gonzalez incident); given the state of the Cuban economy, the lives of average Cubans have probably not changed drastically. In addition to documenting his interactions with locals (some revolutionary, some not), Fleming, an avid birder, includes lots of information on Cuban ornithology. He discusses the practice of Santeria, Palo Monte, and Vodou and includes detailed descriptions of Cuban music, another of his delights. He focuses his wry, modest prose on the country, not himself as a traveler. He is brutally honest, even when it shows him in an unflattering light. This is perhaps the most accurate and readable work on Cuba this reviewer has seen.--Lee Arnold, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
