OverviewTeeming with life and compulsively listenable, the pieces gathered together in The Tribe aggregate into an extraordinary mosaic of Cuba today. Carlos Manuel �lvarez, one of the most exciting young writers in Latin America, employs the cr�nica form--a genre unique to Latin American writing that blends reportage, narrative nonfiction, and novelistic forms--to illuminate a particularly turbulent period in Cuban history, from the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with the US, to the death of Fidel Castro, to the convulsions of the San Isidro Movement. Unique, edgy, and stylishly written, The Tribe shows a society in flux, featuring sportsmen in exile, artists, nurses, underground musicians and household names, dissident poets, the hidden underclass at a landfill, migrants attempting to make their way across Central America, fugitives escaping the FBI, dealers from the black market, as well as revelers and policemen in the noisy Havana night. It is a major work of reportage by one of Granta's Best of Young Spanish-Language novelists.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationCarlos Manuel �lvarez divides his time between Havana and Mexico City. He was included in Bogota39's best Latin American writers under 40 in 2017 and in Granta's Best Young Spanish Novelists in 2021. He published his first book, The Tribe, in 2017. He is also the author of two novels, The Fallen and Falsa Guerra. Gary Tiedemann is a Florida and New York-based narrator, but learned how to act in Chicago's improv, sketch-comedy, and theater scene. He came to audiobook narration after voicing countless commercials and videos over a twenty-year voice-over career. Gary has also appeared in hundreds of improv and sketch performances at Chicago's Annoyance Theatre, iO, The Second City, and in dozens of theater roles as a cofounder of The New Colony Theatre. When Gary is not in a booth, he is probably outside wondering if there is time to go camping. Frank Wynne has translated the work of numerous French and Hispanic authors. His work has earned him many prizes, including the Scott Moncrieff Prize, the Premio Valle Incl�n, and the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award with Houellebecq for The Elementary Particles.
