The 1990s are known euphemistically in Cuba as the special period. It was a time of scarcity, a time in which the youth adopted strategies to deal with the social and political upheaval caused by the breakup of the Soviet Union. In this book, award-winning author Enrique Del Risco shares his personal experiences during this time in Havana. Both difficult and rewarding, they paint a picture of a young man trying to remain upbeat during one of his country's worst moments.
