You know that if you go fishing off Cuba, you are going to die... Do you go? The idea of willingly pursuing your own death is at the core of the real, gritty book, La Mar. This book is the culmination of journals, thoughts, and imagination from Vera's times spent wandering throughout the island of Cuba. In this book, Vera provides a glimpse into the mind of a young Chicano searching for a release, and ultimately peace, while aboard a fishing vessel on the gulf stream. Quick, heated, and covered in salt from the sea, the path Vera lays out is simple but not without heart.
