Just finished David's book and I am not sure what happened...
Clara is a 37 year old Midwest elevator saleswomen taking a trip to Havana for a film festival featuring a Zombie horror movie. Her husband was a film professor that died a month before in an accident involving a late walk and a car. She goes ahead with the trip anyway, regularly seeing visions of her late husband and chasing them throughout Havana. The horror films help with the dislocation from reality. She becomes a guest/patient at a resort/asylum, gets in a train wreck, and somehow leaves Cuba for Florida.
Clara is a train wreck. She wanted to be married yet wanted to leave. She was an off-putting child that had regrets with her parents. She becomes a total mess with the death of her husband and a feeling of guilt.
The book is very difficult to follow. It is all over the place chronologically from zombies to fingernails.
Unusual book!
