Telex from Cuba is a fascinating historical novel that tells the story of an American corporate enclave in Cuba just before the revolution. The story is told through the voices of several adolescent American children, an arms dealer and a prostitute to the rich and famous. The attention to historical detail adds depth and richness to a well-crafted tale of class, race and politics. A great read!
