My brother Tony and I were separated upon arrival on April 6, 1962: he went to Kendall, I went to Florida City. After 3 weeks at the camps, Tony went to live with an American foster family in Miami (...
Hi, I love your book, "Learning to Die in Miami, I am only half way thru it, and it goes from feeling sad, to laughing my 'heart' out. did you really learn to speak Yiddish, OY Vay !
HI, CARLOS. YOUR NEW BOOK, "LEARNING TO DIE IN MIAMI" IS A BIT DEPRESSING, BUT IT TELLS IT LIKE IT WAS FOR MANY OF US AND THE AMARGURAS THAT WE HAD TO ENDURE. IN THE END, WE HAVE SURVIVED AND FEEL BLESSED TO BE HERE. AND ALWAYS THANK OUR PARENTS FOR PUTTING US ON THAT AIRPLANE THAT GAVE US FREEDOM TO THINK AND EXPRESS OURSELVES. YOU HAVE THIS WONDERFUL GIFT OF WRITING AND WE THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US. KEEP WRITING AND MAKING US FLASH BACK TO THE PAST AND THEN RETURN TO THIS ETERNAL PRESENT THAT WE NOW CAN ENJOY IN THE U.S.A. CUBA WILL SOME DAY BE FREE, BEFORE WE KNOW IT, IT WILL HAPPEN!! LOOK AT THE COUNTRIES LIKE EAST GERMANY, HUNGARY, CZCHEK REPUBLIC,,,AND NOW THEY HAVE DEMOCRACY. AND LOOK AT SPAIN AND HOW THEY ARE KICKING ZAPATERO ON THE BUTT! EL PUEBLO SIEMPRE VENCERA. TAKE CARE, J. CASTAÑO
Carlos,
Mil gracias por escribir los libros de tus viajes en la vida. Waiting for Snow... was good, but I really loved ...Die in Miami because I found so many parallels. Both took me a while to read - mucha tristeza conjunto con las sonrisas. I so wish I could give voice to my own experiences, but anytime I've sat down to write about it I've been unable to. I so appreciate you for doing it, not only for yourself, but for all of us.
Dios te bendiga, mi hermano,
Maria Elena Juarez
Tus libros estan maravillos, me encanta el sentido del humor que expresas dentro del relato de tus recuerdos. Tu persona refleja seriedad pero a la vez no has perdido "el nino" dentro de ti.
Hola Carlos, I read Waiting for Snow in Havana a while back and found it a lovely story, but it took me a while to finish reading it because it made me very melancholy, the story of your Cuban childhood was so close to mine. I am so happy to see a Pedro Pan triumph as you have. Best Wishes and keep writing wonderful books.
Carlos: Welcome to our Pedro Pan network! Read your book, Waiting for Snow in Havana and looking forward to reading your newest release, Learning to Die in Miami. But I'm most proud of your words and participation in the documentary "Escape from Havana". Were it not for your words, the documentary would have only served the purpose of making our parents appear naive and ignorant, a distortion of the history of OPP and a promotional vehicle for people to take their dollars to Cuba and further feed the Cuban government. I totally support your comments on the present Cuba.
