You'll find the novel an excellent translation.

Not because of bulls or big game hunting or silly machoism. It comes down to a damn fine writer of short stories, novellas, and A MOVEABLE FEAST. As for Leonardo Padura Fuentes. My Nook just downloaded it.

From what I've read about his life, it appears to have been a hard struggle given his birth in a suicidal family, alcoholism, successive marriages, and health problems. His adversities brought out the best in his writing.Prashant C.
