All the Young Punks: Stories from the New Cuba
reviewed on + 134 more book reviews


Really good read about the young generation in Havana (set mainly during the Raul Castro years) that got better as it went along. Cooke has a marvelous eye for detail and scene-setting, and gives an intimate look at the personal lives of Cubans through a series of vignettes. If you're looking for a straight unbiased historical take, I'd advise you to try another book, but for a personal/memoir reading experience this certainly gets the job done.
