Our Man in Havana

It beggars belief that it took me so long to read this novel.

I mean, come on, could someone not have sat me down and slapped me across the chops with a copy a few years ago?!

This story is both factual in basis and hysterical in actuality.

Plot: Wormold, our vacuum cleaner salesman in Havana is quite settled in his life, drinking in the local bar with his German doctor friend and struggling to keep a handle on his teenage daughter and her Catholic tendencies, when, a British Secret Service agent recruits him with the promise of a hefty salary addition. Given that Wormold has no experience and but a smattering of training, he does what every impoverished, loving father would do...he fiddles the British Government for a little extra cash.

Brilliant!

In every single way, this story is Brilliant.

Read it, folks.
