Comic road trip by award-winning Latino author reveals a cultural awakening
A new novel by Raul Ramos y Sanchez
Nestled slyly into this madcap road trip is the cultural awakening of two young Miami refugees, one from Cuba, the other from Georgia. Being a hippie is more a fashion statement than a lifestyle for Cruiser and Peanut, the offspring of working-class parents who, like most migrants, came to Miami seeking a better life. After venturing outside their inner-city world for the first time, the pair discover a form of hippie heresy: The flower child ethos of dropping out and going back to the land feels less like liberation and more like a step back to the hardships their parents fled in Havana and Waycross.
Called "an epic journey of the soul" by acclaimed author Jess Montgomery, Mustang To Paducah enlightens as it entertains.
