Hotel Cuba author at Fust Library April 18
All are invited to listen to author and professor Aaron Hamburger speak in the Johann Fust Community Library loggia and courtyard at 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 18.
His novel “Hotel Cuba” is an epic family story. It explores the profound courage of two women who strive to create a new future in an enticing and dangerous world far different from anything they have ever known.
Hoping to come to the United States in the 1920s, they end up in Cuba because of immigration restrictions. Hamburger paints a vivid picture of Cuba, filled with the wild and colorful sights and sounds of prohibition-era Havana. He will be in conversation with local author Nan Alexander Doyal.
Hamburger is the author of four books: the story collection “The View from Stalin’s Head,” winner of the Rome Prize in Literature, and the novels “Faith for Beginners” (a Lambda Literary Award nominee), “Nirvana Is Here” (winner of a Bronze Medal in the 2019 Foreword Indie Awards) and the newly released “Hotel Cuba.”
His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Tin House, Crazyhorse, Boulevard, Poets & Writers and O, Oprah Magazine. He teaches writing at George Washington University and the Stonecoast MFA Program.
