Mambo Kings Play
The book that I read was rather pornographic. It was a story about 2 brothers
and 6 other people who put together a band and played in clubs almost every
night. After playing their gigs, they’d go off and get drunk and then go sleep
with about 4 different girls every night. None of them were settled down because
they always were going places and meeting new people. They started their band in
a place called Havana, Cuba. They were very unknown until they met a guy at a
bar one night named Desi Arnaz. He offered them a contract and signed them with
jobs in the United States. So being young and free, they left with almost
nothing to start their new life in the states. The first place they went to,
which was later their favorite place, was Miami, Florida. They played in clubs
late at night still bringing girls back to their hotel rooms. They started to
get noticed. Oscar Hijuelos was the author of the book The Mambo Kings Play
Songs of Love and also the book called Our House in the Last World. Oscar was
born in 1951 in the city of Havana, Cuba and was born to both Cuban parents. He
now currently lives in New York. I do like how the author wrote this book
basically because it was easy reading. It was very long in some parts, but you
could understand it easily. It never left you feeling as if you didn’t
understand a part. He wrote in sections and not chapters. There were only 3
sections in the book and so it was easier to follow because he didn’t have to
keep starting a new chapter. I read this book by dividing it into how many pages
I’d read each day. I had to read about 28 pages in it a day and I kept that
promise to myself. I read every day and I got the book done on time. In each
section of the book, the author started off in a new club. He started it off at
a different time every time. He had it start off one time at 11:23pm in a
nightclub in Miami, and the other ones at 11:57pm and 12:02am. The brothers
always seemed to be at a nightclub whether or not they were playing that night.
The always got drunk and I liked how the author would show you just how drunk
they were by their actions. I believe that there are actually two stories going
on in this book. And they are about the same group of people. Because one of the
stories is being told to you as the lives of musicians who go about their daily
lives in the daytime, but then become drunk and sleazy at night when they go off
and play in clubs. They always talk about wanting to settle down...
