WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION

In 1949 two young Cuban musicians, brothers Cesar and Nestor, leave Havana for New York. By day they work hard, by night they are the Mambo Kings: packing out clubs, dance halls and theatres with their sensuous, pulsing Latin music. This is the captivating story of charming, vivacious womanizer Cesar and quiet, romantic Nestor - still nursing an unrequited love for 'beautiful Maria of my soul' - and their changing fortunes as they try to make it big in America.

The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love Bewertungen

Street-smart and lyrical, impassioned and reflective ... a rich and provocative book * The New York Times *
By turns street-smart and lyrical, impassioned and reflective, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love is a rich and provocative book--a moving portrait of a man, his family, a community and a time -- Michiko Kakutani * New York Times *
The book is a hymn to music, to heterosexual love... There is a hedonism and pain, ecstasy and despair, devotion and lechery.... A fantastic novel * Evening Standard *
