Like Cervantes' \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote, The Lazarus Rumba\u003c\/i\u003e describes a country beset by social dislocation and personal confusion, a country whose soul is best captured by a lush magic realism woven from innumerable tales told in voices both melancholy and lively, lyrical and coarse, delicate and grotesque. As intensely political as Manuel Puig's \u003ci\u003eKiss of the Spider Woman, The Lazarus Rumba \u003c\/i\u003ecenters around three generations of woman in the Lucientes family and follows the story of Alicia Lucientes as, almost inadvertently, she becomes the most famous dissident on the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErnesto Mestre\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Cuba in 1964.
