Many patrons may remember this engaging author’s visit to Scranton Library when his 2003 National Book Award–winning memoir “Waiting for Snow in Havana” was published.
In his first memoir, Carlos Eire narrated his coming of age in Cuba just before and during the Castro revolution. That book literally ends in midair as eleven-year-old Carlos and his older brother leave Havana on an airplane—along with thousands of other children—to begin their new life in Miami in 1962.
Friends of Scranton Library are thrilled to invite you to Carlos Eire’s return on Wednesday September 21 at 7 p.m. when he will present his second memoir entitled “Learning to Die in Miami – Confessions of a Refugee Boy” which opens as the plane lands and Carlos faces, with trepidation and excitement, his new life.
