HOW I WENT IN BALSA is a personal experience, told through a letter to relatives from Guantanamo, where the author was relocated as a refugee after almost a week at sea. With a simple and colloquial but also dramatic and fast language takes us from suspense to relaxation and from courage to the fear of crossing high seas on a rustic raft, rowing and sailing, a story repeated thousands of times by Cubans, but always original And surprise you. Many of the stories of the Cuban rafters are tragic and have not been able to be told by their victims, others like this are presented to us as testimony to what many have called the Florida Exodus, the Mass Exodus across the Straits of Death ------------------------------------------------- COMO ME FUI EN BALSA es una experiencia personal, contada a trav???s de una carta a familiares desde Guant???namo, donde fue relocalizado su autor como refugiado despu???s de casi una semana en el mar. Con un lenguaje sencillo y coloquial pero tambi???n dram???tico y r???pido nos lleva del suspenso a la relajaci???n y de la valent???a al miedo de cruzar altamar en una balsa rustica, a remo y vela, una historia repetida miles de veces por los cubanos, pero siempre original y sorprenderte. Muchas de las historias de los balseros cubanos son tr???gicas y no han podido ser contadas por sus v???ctimas, otras como esta se nos presentan como testimonio de lo que muchos han dado en llamar al de la Florida, el ???xodo Masivo a trav???s del Estrecho de la Muerte.
