Adios, Happy Homeland!
Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press (Hersteller)
978-0-8021-7084-2 (ISBN)
With Adios Happy Homeland!, Menendez puts a contemporary twist on the troubled history of Cuba and offers a wry and poignant perspective on the conundrum of cultural displacement. Smart, accessible, and literary, it is a captivating portrayal of how stories are translated, (mis)interpreted, and shaped across time and traditions.
Ana Menendez was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of Cuban exiles. She is the author of three previous books of fiction, In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd, which was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and whose title story won a Pushcart Prize; Loving Che; and The Last War, chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of the Top 100 Books of the Year. Since 1991 Ana has worked as a journalist in the United States and abroad, most recently as a prize-winning columnist for The Miami Herald. As a reporter, she has written about Cuba, Haiti, Kashmir, Afghanistan, and India, where she was based for three years. Her work has appeared in Vogue, Bomb, Poets & Writers, and Gourmet, and has been included in anthologies such as Cubanisimo! and American Food Writing. A former Fulbright Scholar in Egypt, she now lives in Maastricht and Miami. Visit Ana's website at anamenendezonline.com
