A big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels, BACK TO BLOOD is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.
BACK TO BLOOD opens aboard a police launch speeding across Miami's Biscayne Bay. A Cuban seeking asylum is teetering atop a ship's mast, and it falls to Nestor Camacho, a young Cuban-American cop, to bring him down. His heroic feat gets him ostracized by his own family, and half his neighbors in today's not-so-Little Havana--Hialeah. 'How could you do this to a man of your own blood?' his father demands. Worse yet, Nestor's girlfriend, Magdalena, dumps him and Hialeah for the Anglo loins of her boss, a TV celebrity sex-addiction psychiatrist.With Nestor and Magdalena adrift amid the wildly varied nationalities and races of Miami, Tom Wolfe is off and running in another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the 'hoods, 'de-skilled' conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair, 'spectators' at a Biscayne Bay regatta, looking only for the annual orgy that night, yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an 'Active Adult' condo, and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that distinguished Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels, BACK TO BLOOD is a big, panoramic story of an American metropolis--a human comedy involving class, family, wealth, ethnicity, crime, sex, race, and corruption in the city where America's future first arrived.
