A beloved Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist turns his pen to the real people and places that have influenced his life and literature. A comprehensive look into the mind of a writer.Born in Manhattans Morningside Heights to Cuban immigrants in 1951, Oscar Hijuelos introduces readers to the colorful circumstances of his upbringing. The son of a Cuban hotel worker and exuberant poetrywriting mother, his story, played out against the backdrop of a workingclass neighborhood, takes on an even richer dimension when his relationship with his family and culture changes forever. During a sojourn with his mother in preCastro Cuba, he catches a disease that sends him into a Dickensian home for terminally ill children. The yearlong stay estranges him from the very language and people he had so loved.With a cast of characters whose stories are both funny and tragic, Thoughts Without Cigarettes follows Hijuelos's subsequent quest for his true identity a mystery whose resolution he eventually discovers hidden away in the trappings of his fiction, and which finds its most glorious expression in his bestknown book,The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love.
