Found in an envelope in Guillermo Cabrera Infante's house after his death in 2005, Map Drawn by a Spy is the world-renowned writer's autobiographical account of the last four months he spent in his country. In 1965, following his mother's death, Infante returns to Cuba from Brussels, where he is employed as a cultural attaché at the Cuban embassy. When a few days later his permission to return to Europe is revoked, Infante begins a period of suspicion, uncertainty, and disillusion. Unable to leave the country, denied access to party officials, yet still receiving checks for his work in Belgium, Infante discovers the reality of Cuba under Fidel Castro: imprisonment of homosexuals, silencing of writers, the closing of libraries and newspapers, and the consolidation of power. Both lucid and sincere, Map Drawn by a Spy is a moving portrayal of a fractured society and a writer's struggles to come to terms with his national identity.

Las memorias más políticas de Guillermo Cabrera Infante, crónica de su desencanto ante la Revolución y su decisión de exiliarse definitivamente Libro de memorias casi secreto e inédito a la muerte del autor, Mapa dibujado por un espía narra los apuros que vivió Guillermo Cabrera Infante en el verano de 1965, cuando regresó a Cuba desde Bélgica para asistir al entierro de su madre. Fue el momento de abrir los ojos a la vertiente totalitaria de la Revolución, cuyas autoridades le negaron la visa de salida, obligándolo a permanecer cuatro meses en la isla hasta encontrar una nueva vía de escape a Europa. La crónica de ese tiempo muerto refleja un mundo espectral y desmoronado, así como el desconcierto de quien no consigue despertar de las pesadillas de la Historia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Guillermo Cabrera Infante’s most political memoirs, a chronicle of his disillusion with the Cuban Revolution and his decision to permanently go into exile. Found in an envelope in his house after his death in 2005, Mapa dibujado por un espía / Map Drawn by a Spy is the world-renowned writer's autobiographical account of the last four months he spent in his country. An almost secret and unpublished memoir up to his death, Mapa dibujado por un espía / Map Drawn by A Spy narrates the struggles that Guillermo Cabrera Infante went through in the summer of 1965, when he returned to Cuba from Belgium for his mother’s funeral. It was time to open his eyes to the totalitarian side of the Revolution, whose authorities denied him an exit visa, forcing him to stay on the island for four months until he was able to find an escape route back to Europe. This account of those dead months reflects a fractured society, a ghostly and crumbling world, as well as the bewilderment of those who cannot wake up from the nightmares of History.

A Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Year From the award-winning author of Waiting and War Trash: a riveting tale of espionage and conflicted loyalties that spans half a century in the entwined histories of two countries—China and the United States—and two families. When Lilian Shang, born and raised in America, discovers her father’s diary after the death of her parents, she is shocked by the secrets it contains. She knew that her father, Gary, convicted decades ago of being a mole in the CIA, was the most important Chinese spy ever caught. But his diary, an astonishing chronicle of his journey as a Communist intelligence agent, reveals the pain and longing that his double life entailed—and point to a hidden second family that he’d left behind in China. As Lilian follows her father’s trail back into the Chinese provinces, she begins to grasp the extent of his dilemma: he is a man torn between loyalty to his motherland and the love he came to feel for his adopted country. She sees how his sense of duty distorted his life, and as she starts to understand that Gary too had been betrayed, Lilian finds that it is up to her to prevent his tragedy from endangering yet another generation of Shangs. A stunning portrait of a multinational family and an unflinching inquiry into the meaning of citizenship, patriotism, and home, A Map of Betrayal is a spy novel that only Ha Jin could write.

Considered a wonder of the ancient world, the Newark Earthworks—the gigantic geometrical mounds of earth built nearly two thousand years ago in the Ohio valley--have been a focal point for archaeologists and surveyors, researchers and scholars for almost two centuries. In their prime one of the premier pilgrimage destinations in North America, these monuments are believed to have been ceremonial centers used by ancestors of Native Americans, called the "Hopewell culture," as social gathering places, religious shrines, pilgrimage sites, and astronomical observatories. Yet much of this territory has been destroyed by the city of Newark, and the site currently "hosts" a private golf course, making it largely inaccessible to the public. The first book-length volume devoted to the site, The Newark Earthworks reveals the magnitude and the geometric precision of what remains of the earthworks and the site’s undeniable importance to our history. Including contributions from archaeologists, historians, cultural geographers, and cartographers, as well as scholars in religious studies, legal studies, indigenous studies, and preservation studies, the book follows an interdisciplinary approach to shine light on the Newark Earthworks and argues compellingly for its designation as a World Heritage Site.
