Travelers' Tales Cuba: True Stories

Rating:
Summary: Testosterone-Heavy
Review: Of the 35 stories presented in this book, 29 are penned by male writers, leaving female readers choking on moped fumes as these stories are an endless re-telling of Cuban car & motorcycle mechanics in excrutiating detail. Broken up only by tales of fishing, baseball & (mostly married) men titillated by $20 Cuban hookers or smitten by young Cuban senorita stereotypes, this book reads like a slow walk through a pool hall filled with pot-bellied, balding men puffing on cigars & slapping each other on the back as they pump out tall tales about all the fish (& women) they've caught. Cuba as the setting is only incidental.
