Summary:

Lisander, the poet laureate, trades the golden-laurel crown of yesteryear for a career as a rock musician. Dina, once the squirrel-costumed prostitute of Marina's zoological luxury brothel, is now the mistress of a radish-processing plant. Nelly Pardo dreams of a better world while infatuated with a pig named Rigoletto. The civic leaders who resort to the wilderness of Lake Okeechobee spend their days planning the liberation of their homeland while their wives toil at the radish plant and find consolation in their shared memories of the Xawa Ladies' Tennis Club. A host of other equally memorable and wacky characters populate this satire of Cuban immigrant life.
