Fatherlands

A memoir with a twist about the journey of a Cuban American who was born Charles Lopez to young immigrants and is now known as Charles Bruns. The book covers what it was like for the author to be a New York City kid and New Jersey guy during the second half of the 20th century, and the impact his identity and experiences as a son, stepson and father had on his family and career. It also touches upon Cuban immigration in the U.S. and Cuban Americans the author got to know during his life.
