Description
The Cuban Club Stories by Barry Gifford is a masterful collection of sixty-seven linked tales that explore the complexities of growing up and coming to terms with the world around us. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1950s and early 1960s Chicago, this story unfolds as a creation myth of the Fall, told through the eyes of an innocent boy on the cusp of becoming an adult. Through its koan-like tales, The Cuban Club Stories raises more questions than it answers, leaving readers to ponder the nature of reality and the human experience. Spanning Roy's age from six to nineteen and back again, this story is a deeply personal and philosophical exploration of life, death, and everything in between. Written over thirty years, The Cuban Club Stories brings together the form that Barry Gifford has developed through his earlier works, creating something truly unique and crystalline.
