About this event

28. Chantel Acevedo: Spotlight on Cuba

Chantel Acevedo has “written the impossible: an Odyssey for the Cuban 20th century” (Junot Diaz). Born in Miami to Cuban parents, Acevedo is the award-winning author of multiple books&semi; Cages is her most personal and heartfelt yet. Over a thirty-year arc, Cages follows a man named Felix—a zookeeper in Cuba during the missile crisis, an exile in swinging sixties London, and finally, a dying man in 1980s AIDS-era Miami. The result is a dazzling mosaic of longing, deception, survival, and reconciliation, as well as a searing portrait of a gay man living in Fidel Castro’s Cuba, where homosexuality was branded “counterrevolutionary.”

Acevedo shares her illuminating book in conversation with Maria Reva.
