An absurd magical realist satire in which God sends Jesus to mediate between Castro and JFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Beverly Hills Book Awards 2014 Winner in Multicultural Fiction USA Best Book Awards 2013 Winner in Multicultural Fiction Nominated for the Montaigne Medal 2014 Winner Global E-book Awards 2014 - Fantasy Historical Setting In this magical realist blend of the all-too-real, the imaginary and the just plain absurd, the world teeters on the brink of destruction as JFK and Fidel Castro prepare once again for battle. As protests mount on the streets and the wily Castro plans his ruthless final move, the possibility of salvation emerges: the Second Coming of Christ to broker the conflict, assisted by the housewife Fatima. The result is a comical and highly nuanced exploration of the relationships between Capitalism and Communism, oppressed and oppressor, fantasy, memory and reality, in which grey areas proliferate and the rug is repeatedly pulled from beneath the reader's feet.
