Telex from Cuba (Hardcover, 2008, Scribner) 4 stars

Ambitious and skilfully written

4 stars

Like her other books, Kushner is masterful at evoking times and places, and depicting the inner lives of quite unlikeable but complex characters. Telex from Cuba is ambitious, propulsive and masterfully written – though perhaps not enjoyable? The skill of the author elevates it, she’s a force.
