Brief Encounters with Che Guevara: Stories by Ben Fountain

4.0

Sometimes the flow of the text was hard to read but the narratives are gripping. The author covers the escalation of events very well. The stories are from different war-torn or distressed parts of the world, a lot of them centered around Haiti. Almost all of the stories have a the political scaffolding of revolution, war, decolonization, drugs or abject poverty tohem. My favorite is Bouki and the Cocaine, which blurs the line of magical realism.
