Largo domingo cubano

"Murillo's short novel centers on an old Costa Rican woman, Doña Berta, and her lyrical recollection of an affair with Don Carlos, an erudite Cuban. Her memories provide the frame for ideological threads about the differences between socialist and capitalist systems, the latter being privileged by the narrator, who is a younger, perhaps more cynical version of Doña Berta"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
