Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A colorful cast of Miami's residents and visitors navigate their daily lives, both legal and illegal, in a panoramic story of contemporary America. Officer Nestor Camacho patrols Biscayne Bay, immersing himself in a city where diverse cultures intersect at the ballot box. This melting pot is filled with complex characters, including the Cuban mayor, a black police chief, a young muckraking journalist, and his Yale-educated editor at the Miami Herald. There's also an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his enchanting Latina nurse, along with a billionaire patient grappling with porn addiction. A Haitian professor, who aspires for his daughter Ghislaine to "pass" for white, adds to the mix, as does her Creole-speaking little brother. The narrative also features crack dealers in the neighborhoods and clueless art collectors at the Miami Art Basel Fair, spending millions on de-skilled art. Tensions rise as black drug dealers clash with Cuban cops, while spectators at the Columbus Day Regatta seek out post-race festivities. Amidst this vibrant chaos, ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo and a group of shady Russians contribute to the city's eclectic tapestry.
