Brief Encounters with Che Guevara

The well-meaning protagonists of "Brief Encounters with Che Guevara" are caught--to both disastrous and hilarious effect--in the maelstrom of political and social upheaval surrounding them. Ben Fountain's prize-winning debut speaks to the intimate connection between the foreign, the familiar, and the inescapably human.
