- Summary
- "Oscar Mandinga, great-grandchild of the founders of a small hamlet of wooden shacks and red earth deep in the Cuban hinterland, is a sardonic teller of tales--some taller than others--of slavery, revolution, family secrets, love, and identity, spanning four generations. But one day Oscar wakes to find himself utterly alone in the world. As the sole descendent of his family line, he is not sure what to do or where he should go, but in the midst of this uncertainty, he holds fast to what his grandfather always told him: 'No man knows who he is until he knows his past, his history, the history of his country.' As Oscar sets out to find his ancestral village of Pata de Puerco and the meaning of the magical pig's-foot amulet he has inherited, the search for his country's hidden history becomes entangled with his search for the truth about himself and his family. Ambitious in scope yet intimate in tone, full of dark comedy, magical story-telling, and startling revelations, Pig's Foot is a dazzling evocation of Cuba's tumultuous history, and a spellbinding debut"--From publisher description
