A review by caroparr
Miami by Joan Didion

4.0

How to do justice to Didion's quietly damning look at the fraught relationships between Miami and Cuba? I won't even try, except to say that Ada Ferrer was right to say that to understand Cuba you have to understand Miami. Yes, Didion's sentence structure can drive me crazy at times, but it's all worth it for her sharp eye and even sharper tongue. Published in the mid-eighties, so of course a lot has changed, but this still holds up.
