With a 1958 portable typewriter in his suitcase, the writer wanders Havana’s crumbling back alleys, bullet-sprayed museums, and grand hotels where in fact the relics of the Revolution as well as the ghost of Hemingway still speak loudly.

When his typewriter breaks in transit, the writer is forced to reconsider his composing holiday and place his novel on hold, until a new story emerges from your vibrance and history in the Old City Habana Vieja. Receiver of a 2016 Eric Hoffer Prize for non-fiction, The Havana Documents reveals a complicated, contemporary portrait of 1 of the world’s great historical cities.
