Book Description
Award-winning storyteller Pablo Medina's new novel is a radiant journey through the mind of Amadeo Terra, a Cuban cigar factory worker confined in a Florida hospital after a stroke has left him paralyzed. His body no longer works, but his mind is very much alive, as is his ruthless and audacious wit. His only human contact is with the callous nurse who constantly scolds him, the orderly who barely acknowledges him, and the nun who prays for Amadeo's salvation while he fantasizes about what's under her habit. One day Nurse feeds him mango from a baby-food jar—a departure from the usual bland mush—and the taste of it on his tongue brings memories of his life in Havana flooding back. Once a master cigar roller in Cuba and an imperious patriarch of enormous appetites, Amadeo now confronts the long-buried facts of his previously unexamined life. The Cigar Roller is an evocative portrait of a man whose life—once governed unapologetically by his most base urges—is now reduced mercilessly to its most basic functions.

A Compelling, but Depressing Novel .......2007-03-03
The Cigar Roller is the story of a Amadeo Terra, a Cuban-born Cigar Roller that has been paralyzed by a stroke. Amadeo is housed in a nursing home in Florida, isolated from the world. His children pay the bills, but never visit. He is unable to move or talk. And to the outside world, he is no more responsive than a vegetable. One day, as the nurse was feeding Amadeo his lunch of baby food, his memories are sparked by the taste of mango. He is immediately transported back to his childhood in Cuba.
This novel is very well-written, although it does follow the stream of consciousness writing that I'm not particularly fond of reading. Amadeo is a man that has ill-spent almost his entire life and has many deep regrets. He alternates from the present time through many episodes of his past life, some good and some bad. You see snippets of his marriage to Julia, a Cuban woman that immigrated to Florida with him and their three sons. You see bits of life as a Master Cigar Roller. Images of his many mistresses and infidelities are also abound. And the death of his young son that haunts him. But you are also drawn into his life as an invalid, trying desperately to make someone, anyone, realize he CAN understand. You are also drawn into the incredibly inadequate treatment the infirmed receive in this nursing home.
Even though the book was well-written, it probably won't be making my Top lists anytime soon! It was a short book for me, but I found it incredibly difficult to read. It's hard to have a lot of empathy for a man that really, truly was so detestable. And I'm not a fan of stream of consciousness writing. I find it very hard to enjoy. I was hoping for more about Amadeo's life as a Cigar Roller and culture of Cuba, and less of the clinical side of the stroke.
Fluid and Beauiful.......2006-12-08
Medina's novel about a Cuban exile during his last days at a nursing home is poetic and luminous in spite of the protagonist's repugnant shortcomings. Medina not only enlightens the reader on the art of cigar rolling and its importance in Cuban culture and society, he weaves a beautiful, heartbreaking tale of a life ill-lived and what truly matters.
Funny, Compelling, Poetic .......2005-11-01
Pablo Medina is a writer of elegant prose and a man of great sensibility. Like a master cigar roller who tighly rolls together a bundle of dry tobacco leaves, Medina has crafted a novel that is as powerful and pleasing as a good Cuban puro.
It's amazing how this book can make you cry, both from laughter and nostalgia.
Fenomenal, Pablo, como siempre.
A compelling character study........2005-04-23
Whereas Pablo Medina's first two novels, "The Marks of Birth" and "The Return of Felix Nogara," were panoramic, semi-satiric murals of Cuban society and the Cuban exile experience, his new book, "The Cigar Roller" is a pungently poetic miniature concentrating on one brutal, careless yet richly human character. Amadeo Terra--lover of earth--is the titular cigar roller, left paralyzed and speechless in a 1940s Tampa hospital after a massive stroke. He blinks, he drools, he defecates, he eats the tasteless mush his nurse spoon-feeds him. Then, one day, the nurse gives Amadeo a spoonful of pureed mango, and--like a debased, low-down Proust--he finds that the paradisal taste causes all the memories of his life to come tumbling back to him. In deliberately disordered but evocative detail, Medina contrasts Terra's miserable present with his rough-and-tumble past, his snatch-and-grab philosophy of life, and--at the end--the horrible secret he must finally face up to. Amadeo is often hateful, but--presented as we are with the totality of his thoughts--we hesitate to call him evil. To know is to understand, and possibly even to forgive. Amadeo's story is interlaced with the dramatic history of Cuba in the late 19th century--the Spanish occupation and native insurgency that led to the Spanish-American War--and should tantalize American readers enough to look deeper into the subject. Short and exquisitely honed, "The Cigar Roller" is a compelling character study that lingers in the memory.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-08-04
A major problem with this collection is that a lot of it is pretty dull. Definitely a few good stories, but that is not the case for a fair chunk of it, unfortunately. This is not the case with the extensive overview of the genres in all sorts of media, even anime and manga, which is an interesting surprise. That part is definitely good, and probably worth an extra 1 out of 5 at least for the book, whereas the fiction part is only around a 2.5 itself, but there is definitely a lot of it.

Still wonderfully diverse..........2006-02-06
This collection is at least as good as any of the others, though some of the stories seemed rather out of place (Chuck Palahniuk's infamous story "Guts," for example) or were just too strange in imagery for me to get into ("The Revenge of the Calico Cat," in an imaginary world of plushies). A few were also a bit simplistic or cliched and I was surprised that they were recognised as being the best of the year. However, most of the selected pieces were hauntingly eerie or strange or beautiful, and I have been introduced to a number of fabulous writers within the genres (Francis Oliver, John Farris, Simon Brown, and Margo Lanagan, to name a few). And once again, these stories are definitely not good for light bedtime reading...
Outstanding Quality and Variety of Stories! Not to be Missed!.......2005-09-23
I look forward to this collection every year, but I must admit this 18th annual collection was one of the best ever. I am a huge horror fan and usually just skip over the scifi stories, but began to read the scifi stories as well this time and to my great pleasure, really enjoyed these as well. For anyone who enjoys a good short story or good literature of any type I highly recommend this collection. Standout stories by Alice Hoffman, Joyce Carol Oates and the best short story by Peter Straub I've ever read will greatly please. Be warned though, some of these stories are not for the squeamish ("Guts" was very grotesque, but I've also never laughed so hard in my life, what a great story!) As always, I greatly enjoyed the summations at the beginning of the book - they always give me the names of new books and authors I haven't discovered yet to look into. The overall quality of the stories is far superior from any of the other "horror" collections out there today and this particular collection is not to be missed.
Year's Best Fantasy and Horror.......2005-09-16
continues to provide an avenue to wonderful short stories in the fantasy and horror genre, along with excellent essays on what is going on in the field. I wish I had the time and resources to track down and read all of their recommendations. The series has not diminished with the departure of Terri Windling.
Not the same with new fantasy editors.......2005-09-15
Something like 15 years ago, I ran across the first three annual volumes of this anthology at a science fiction and fantasy bookstore. Ever since, I've eagerly looked forward to every volume, for weeks or months ahead of publication. Once received, each yielded a couple of weeks of daily reading treat. I admit, since I dislike horror, I've always wished that the horror had been spun off into a separate volume. Still, Ellen Datlow's taste in horror is pretty sophisticated, some of it being closer to dark fantasy, which I do like. I always read the horror last. But Terri Windling's fantasy selection more than made up for the horror content of the volume. All those stories culled from "literary" magazines I never read (as being too modern and New-Yorky) for my taste. And her roundups/brief reviews of new fantasy books! I've discovered so many "mainstream" books and authors not marketed as fantasy from Windling's reviews. Since the inception of Amazon, every roundup had me rushing to put at least ten more books in my shopping cart.
Unfortunately, this is probably the last annual volume I'll ever buy. The new team editing the fantasy content, Kelly Link and Gavin Grant, just are not up to Windling's standards. First, in both the story selection and the roundups, it seems that they did not read nearly as wide a range of sources as Windling did. Second, their selections were lackluster. The stories I really liked I'd already read in major fantasy magazines. The others were . . . sort of all right. Mildly interesting. But not worth that many pages. I discovered one book worth buying in the review roundups, which were also lackluster.
All in all, the uninteresting fantasy combined with that much horror, meant that the two weeks' delight I'd experienced for so many years, turned into a month-long slog, with me frequently counting stories (I don't read them in order) to see if I was finally almost done with the thing yet.
Let's hope there's another change of editors soon. And maybe, just maybe, they'll put the horror in a separate anthology, where it belongs.

Customer Reviews:
Boring, unbelievable, and unlikable.......2007-02-05
Sub-par military sci fi with inconsistent characterization and a plodding plot. I don't mind unlikable protagonists, but the author's characterization of Nick Seafort is all over the place. Jumps in motivation and perspective that make no sense at all and render him complete unbelievable. Not much here to redeem this book. Those interested in sci fi military novels might want to check out Bujold's Vorkosigan saga, the Honor Harrington series, or "Old Man's War" instead.
ee-yuck.......2003-04-13
I tried really hard to like this book as with the others in the series. But it was simply impossible.
Don't get me wrong. I like heroes and anti-heroes. And even as a kid I thought that Captain Bligh was one of the former.
But the main character here is the sort of half-crazed martinet who makes Captain Queeg look like Francis of Assissi and Mother Courage rolled into one. A religious fanatic. Grasping. Power mad. Self-absorbed. Needlessly cruel. With no regard for the lives and well-being of his men. The kind of officer who would be fragged in any sane military past or present and who would almost certainly have washed out of OCS, much less a the military academy.
The covert racism in this and others is impossible to ignore. The "gangs" down in the cities are all Black or Latino (as if these would still be meaningful categories that far in the future). They even talk like refugees from a minstrel show.
And the "Fish", the demons of the piece, aren't even very good monsters. They seem big, strong, dumb and hungry. Less the objects of a military campaign than a job for the game warden.
This whole series is a lot like a sick cat; it just doesn't wash.
Nice read, but I'm getting sick of Nick..........2003-03-12
I read the Seafort Saga many years back, and I decided to re-read them now that Children of Hope and Patriarch's Hope are out (they weren't out the first time I read the books). So, I wanted to refresh myself before I read the two new ones...
In this book, Seafort is sent with a big group of ships to go defend Hope Nation. The only problem is, they fuse a great deal of times and meet fish on two of those times. Betrayed by the admiral in charge, Seafort is transferred to a disabled ship with a bunch of the more useless (read, trannie - sort of street kids - and elderly) passengers. His crew is skeletal, and some of them are rebellious. The passengers are snotty except for the old ones, who are pretty dang useless, and the trannies who dont' improve the situation. So... Seafort tries to pull things together and improve their chances of survival although everything looks pretty dang hopeless. Seafort becomes more disagreeable throughout the book until you feel like you'd join in any rebellion against him too.
But, it's a good book. Feintuch has a rare talent of drawing the reader into the book and making the reader become attached to the characters (my attachment is to Vax). Watch the characters grow and change... all the while keeping the story interesting and suspenseful.
I don't think this book is as good as Midshipman's Hope, but it is a good read and I recommend this saga to anybody. Actually, I just got my best friend addicted to it by giving her Midshipman's Hope for her birthday and sending her Challenger's Hope when she was done iwth the first one. She absolutely loves the books, as does my other best friend. And the one had never even read sci-fi before! As she put it, you forget it's a scifi novel for the most part. It's about living and dealing with problems...
A Spectacular Series.......2000-11-14
Feintuch has really created a fantastic series with the Seafort Saga. I haven't been drawn into a book this much since "The Lord of the Rings." Feintuch really creates a world where the reader can lose him or herself. The characters are developed well, and the plot is spectacular. Anyone who loves the Navy or SciFi will love this book, and even those who aren't(like myself) will enjoy it. Really, if I could give this book 10 stars, I would. Excellent read.
Worthy Sequel to Midshipman's Hope.......2000-05-23
Challenger's Hope adds to Nicholas Seafort's character. He loses his wife and sun to an alien attack, he is betrayed by an admiral, some of his passengers are bigots and violent street children, and Nick is forced to break an oath. David Feintuch is my favorite author, and he shows an incredible writing talent by adding depth to Nick and his world, making the aliens actually scary, and delivering an exciting and moving story. I salute you Mr. Feintuch.

This recipe book is more for the kitchen sink cook. You know, find what you can around the kitchen put it in a pot and call it "Chilli" Well, I wasn't impressed. Most of the recipes didn't even appeal to me. (Uh, ketchup is never an ingredient to put into chilli for any reason....yuk!)
It is a great help in my research in the world of chili........1998-01-12
I found that basically all chili recipes are really the same with just a pinch of differences. I was inpressed with the personalities that had contributed their own personal recipes. My wife was impressed with the recipes for some of the other Mexican dishes and we will be trying them soon. So this is more that just a book of similar chili recipes---it offers a variety of other dishes

Great reference on traditional techniques.......2006-06-23
Like the other book from the same author, this one is a great reference for traditional techniques. It provides a clear insight on how to do very high quality upholstery. It may not be the reference you need on practical and modern techniques required in today's workshops to compete. It is a great reference anyway.
An interesting and informative survey of the art of upholste.......1998-09-18
If you're looking for a step-by-step guide or a source-book, look elsewhere. This book is a general introduction to the history of upholstery, with general descriptions of traditional and modern upholstery techniques, of more value to those considering upholstering as a vocation or to the serious hobbyist than to the casual do-it-yourselfer.
