Never through Miami
by Roberto Quesada
"Elias Sandoval stands in line at Miami International Airport, desperately hoping he has chosen the right immigration agent, the one who will open the doors to the promise of America. Elias comes to the United States hoping to storm the arts scene as a sculptor, only to be handed a dishcloth and a tray for clearing dishes.
His quest leads the reader through a series of misadventures on the path taken by so many Latin American immigrants: from the lines of U.S. immigration to the kitchen sinks of restaurants and the bellboy-bound corridors of hotels in New York City." "In Central America, he has left Helena, who through anxious - and hilarious - phone exchanges exerts constant pressure on her far-off boyfriend to send for her, in the hopes that she can fulfill her mother's lifelong dream of going to Miami."--BOOK JACKET.
