...Infante plays José Carlos, a popular singer who falls for Ana Luisa (Emilia Gul?), a schoolteacher who's very proper, very blond, very snooty to those of darker hue. She's downright rude to José Carlos' closest comrades: his Afro-Cuban bandmate, Fernando (Chimi Monterrey), and the band's sexy, dusky lead dancer, Isabel (Chela Castro), who clearly has a crush on the oblivious José Carlos. "You lower yourself dancing with that mulatta," Ana Luisa sneers, to which her color-blind beau replies, "It was God's decision that she's of mixed race." Ana Luisa also...

...just spill it right now: Elmore is a jewel. She was impeccable as Undine from delivery to mannerisms to facial expressions: prim and proper and more than a little snooty, but progressively sensitive. She was hysterical (in the sense of both being funny and prone to hysterics), a little hyperbolic, and very aggressive.

...first sexual experience with the beautiful María Font, his heartrending description—a distinctly youthful mix of exuberance and confusion—combines action with perception, physical anatomy with clichéd poetry: “Then everything turned into a succession of concrete acts and proper nouns and verbs, or pages from an anatomy manual scattered like flower petals, chaotically linked.” In another particularly moving scene, “the mother of Mexican poetry” recalls seeing soldiers and tanks herding captive students and professors into a van “like...

First, y’all ain’t nice. Perhaps the cold weather prevented the youngsters of New England from learning proper manners, but something about this area of the country has caused an entire population to morph into curse-wielding morons. Just two hours in Harvard Yard—where one will likely hear “pisser” or “faggot” abounding amongst other disgusting words and mannerisms—is enough to make you yearn for old-fashioned Southern decorum...
