The Tragedy of Fidel Castro
João Cerqueira
Witty and strikingly humorous, The Tragedy of Fidel Castro dives into a world of historical magical realism where a cataclysmic war is brewing between JFK and Fidel Castro, where God must intervene, where Jesus must again walk the earth to settle the inevitable tragedy of the human race. The book abounds in metaphor. Cerqueira’s plot bends and reconstructs the time and dimension of familiar characters, placing them together in a wild and unpredictable interplay, and yet this book, through satire and subtlety, is in fact beautifully relevant to the bizarre world in which we are already a part. It speaks to our time, to real problems, and to the absurdities of the day-in, day-out lives that we live.
