The Library Journal

Writing in the Library Journal yesterday, Lee Arnold at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania calls Walking to Guantánamo "perhaps the most accurate and readable work on Cuba this reviewer has seen," and says I focus my "wry, modest prose on the country, not (my)self as a traveler." And mentions many other things I'm quite happy to read about the book. This seems like the sort of link that may not last forever, so give it a quick look.

Adventures on the Book Trail

I've created this blog primarily to share information about activities surrounding the release of my forthcoming book, Walking to Guantánamo, and its companion volume of photographs, The Road to Guantánamo: Images from a Journey through Cuba. At the moment it looks like the publishers are right on track to get both books out as scheduled, on October 1st, 2008. Unless there are some really exciting unexpected developments, I wouldn't expect to read much here until then.
