Omar T in Havana

Angebote / Angebote:

Omar and his family travel to a different location for each of these culinary adventures. The travel fiction aspect is enhanced with descriptions of actual sites, restaurants, bookstores, galleries and shops-including sketches, favorite lists and recipes. Diversity in race, religion, culture, language and sexual orientation not only exists within Omar's family, it is celebrated in these tales. I call this story telling "Mystery Lite." It is not centered on murder and violence. Any mystery is based on actual culture and history. Rather than relying on the perverse, these stories are meant to appeal to the enlightened-someone inspired by the creative arts and those who overcome adversity. Each Omar T book is independent, you do not need to read them in the order of their publication, though there are some references for those who do. In Omar T in Havana, the young American chef and his sister are recruited to participate in a collaboration of international chefs in Havana. They find everything and everyone they encounter a bit mysterious, as they interact with this unique island and its special deities, the Orishas
