Tombolo Books is thrilled to welcome award-winning author Chantel Acevedo to the bookstore to celebrate her new novel, Cages! Cages is the story of Felix—a zookeeper in Cuba during the time of the missile crisis, an exile in swinging sixties London, and finally a dying man in 1980s AIDS-era Miami. In this daring novel, Acevedo’s most personal and heartfelt to date, the fragments of Felix’s story are put together like pieces of a puzzle by one knew him mostly as an absence.
