    Summary:

    As the US and Cuba move toward the normalization of diplomatic relations after an epic fifty-six-year standoff, we find ourselves face-to-face with one of the few places in the world that has been off limits to most Americans. Standing on both sides of the political divide, twelve of our most celebrated writers investigate this period of momentous transition.
