Riassunto

Review:"A tale of frustrated love ... The author skillfully produces realistic dialogue and substantial character development ... Readers will enjoy following these central figures as they...pursue a complicated romance, all against a backdrop of...the end of the Cold War, El Nino, the birth of the Internet, the dot-com bubble and 9/11." - Kirkus Reviews ... Description:Fidel Castro is Dead is an odyssey about love, life, and laughter.A satirical comedy, the story begins in 1975, transpires over three decades, and follows a group of individuals through the height of the Cold War to the depths of 9/11, from the dawn of the World Wide Web to the madness of the dotcoms, and from unimaginable wealth to unrelenting destitution before climaxing in a bizarre and ironic twist.Triumphs and tragedies; premonitions and nightmares; dramatic twists of plot and gut-busting laughter form the backdrop to the ever-powerful attraction between two childhood friends turned lovers whose lives are perpetually affected, for better or for worse, by extraordinary events beyond their control.Fidel Castro is Dead transports readers from coastal South America to bustling Manhattan; from laid-back California to roaring Niagara Falls; and from Mexico and Europe to the secluded beaches off the coast of Thailand, while constantly raising the question, ‘What is the meaning of it all?’ The saga is told in parallel stories, one in the second person POV, and the other in the third person.Fidel Castro is Dead is the debut novel of Canadian/American writer Pradeep Persaud.
