Sinopsis:

Loud-mouthed, funny and insightful, Dovalpage takes the reader for a trip from the streets of Havana to a New Mexican town. Some stories flirt with magic realism; others explore love affairs gone wrong. A Cuban teenager suddenly goes from using ration cards to discovering credit cards. An American professor falls for a young santera. A New Age group attempts to achieve self-realization amid scarcities and blackouts

“If you’ve ever wondered what is it about Latinos that makes them so intense, so sexy, so alive, read these stories, and see for yourself how the accident of life and a bit of fun-loving lunacy can result in the deliciously innate wisdom of a people.”

Anjanette Delgado, author of The Heartbreak Pill and The Clairvoyant of Coffee Park.

In these short stories, reality and fantasy intertwine to create an esoteric blend with a strong Cuban flavor—a supernatural ajiaco!
