Watchung Booksellers, in partnership with Latinos of Montclair and Out Montclair, welcomes Chantel Acevedo, author of Cages on Thursday, June 25 at 7:00 p.m.
Cages is the story of Felix—a zookeeper in Cuba during the time of the missile crisis, an exile in swinging sixties London, and finally a dying man in 1980s AIDS-era Miami. In this daring novel, Acevedo’s most personal and heartfelt to date, the fragments of Felix’s story are put together like pieces of a puzzle by one knew him mostly as an absence.
“Acevedo has written the impossible: an Odyssey for the Cuban 20th century.”—Junot Diaz
