Synopsis It's 1929 Tampa
(more probably Ybor City), where cigar factories employ legions of
Cuban immigrants to hand roll the aromatic product. In order to
relieve the tedium a lector de tabaqueria was employed to
read from the daily newspapers, books and plays (We found a very
good treatment of the subject at PipesandCigars.com).
Anna in the Tropics concerns one such lector who, as he reads
Anna Karenina, "unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the
lives of his avid listeners"
Notes Anna in the Tropics
was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for drama |
