Miami by Joan Didion

informative slow-paced

4.0

Kind of hard to rate because I feel like this book is the kind of thing you’d mainly appreciate if you’re already from Miami so you have some familiarity with the names and locations as well as some cultural context. Overall, Didion paints a fair portrait of the political issues surrounding the Cuban diaspora in Miami and ties it to larger events in Latin American foreign policy taking place in Washington DC. Super interesting if those subjects pique your interest but I don't think I'd recommend this to anyone for their first Didion book.
