Review Quotes:
"Gracia is a writer in full control of his material, and yet someone who in his own search for identity as a philosopher, as a Cuban, as a Cuban American, as a Hispanic, as a Latino, as a Latinx, leaves many questions open, as any good philosopher should, allowing his readers to answer for themselves. The strength of his authorial voice resides in his honesty." - Rolando Pérez, author of Severo Sarduy and the Neo-Baroque Image of Thought in the Visual Arts
