Description - Firefly by Severo Sarduy

Fireflyis a dream-like evocation of pre-war Cuba, replete with hurricanes, mystical cults and slave-markets. The story is the coming-of-age of a precocious and exuberant boy with an oversized head and underdeveloped sense of direction, who views the world asa threatening conspiracy. Told inbreathless and lyrical prose, the novel isa loving rendition of a long-lost home, a meditation on exile, and an allegory of Cuba's isolation in the world.
