City of a Hundred Fires presents us with a journey through the cultural coming of age experiences of the hyphenated Cuban-American. This distinct group, known as the N Generation (as coined by Bill Teck), are the bilingual children of Cuban exiles nourished by two cultural currents-the fragmented traditions and transferred nostalgia of their parents' Caribbean homeland and the very real and present America where they grew up and live.
