A Vivid, Naughty Travel Memior for the Adventurous
Chris HiltonÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s salacious travel memoir Ã?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦"The Attraction of CubaÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??Ã?Â? is an unapologetic exploration into the authorÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s travels, experiences, and backdoor dealings in this island nation. Hilton, like many white, Western expats, found an escape from the monotony of his daily life in England within the confines of the Caribbean Island. With the help of some unique characters such as an English inmate, some Cuban gangsters, and one enigmatic woman, Hilton embarks on a wild money-making scheme that leads him across Cuba, into lots of trouble, and several unforgettable experiences. As Hilton himself said, regarding his Ã?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦"gray areaÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??Ã?Â? adventures:
Ã?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦"I havenÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢t done anything illegal. A bit naughty maybe but not illegal. Not in England anyway.Ã?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??Ã?Â? Pg. 272
In many ways, this summarizes the entire vibe of his story found in this travel memoir. What heÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s doing is not quite illegal, but it sure is fun. HiltonÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s writing is fresh and approachable, focusing on interesting episodes during his time in Cuba (to date, heÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s made 30 trips there). There is also a focus on his relationship with Yamilla (or Jamilia), a Cuban native and strong character in her own right. I found myself wishing for more about her at times and enjoyed seeing the ways she and Hilton interacted throughout the story.
It is hard to critique the ways that people share their own personal stories, and Chris HiltonÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s Ã?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â?¦"The Attraction of CubaÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?â??Ã?Â? is no exception to this difficulty. Some readers may not fully embrace HiltonÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s cavalier approach to discussing his sexual exploits, women, and his shady dealings in Cuba. However, others will find a certain amount of adventure in it or will simply shake their heads in disbelief at the audacity of men and the corrupt nature of government officials. There is a certain amount of charm to HiltonÃ?Æ'Ã?¢Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¡Ã?¬Ã?¢ââ?¬Å¾Ã?¢s storytelling though, and it will appeal to those of us who love uncommon perspectives while traveling. A bit of a morally grey protagonist is certainly a fun respite from other travel narratives!
