Author Talk: Exile, Memory, and the Meaning of Home
Advertisement
What happens when the country you love forces you out, leaving you just 48 hours to abandon everything you’ve ever known? Join us online for an extraordinary online conversation with author and essayist Ana Hebra Flaster as we discuss her sweeping yet deeply intimate memoir Property of the Revolution: From a Cuban Barrio to a New Hampshire Mill Town.
Ana Hebra Flaster is journalist and the author of Property of the Revolution: From a Cuban Barrio to a New Hampshire Mill Town, published in April 2025 (She Writes Press, Simon and Schuster distribution). A former child-refugee from Cuba, Ana’s work has appeared in national print and online media, including: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe. Her commentaries and storytelling have aired on NPR’s All Things Considered and PBS’s Stories from the Stage.
Ana speaks regularly with student, library, and civic groups about her family’s journey and the refugee and immigrant experience. She is currently focused on covering the struggle for democracy and human rights in Cuba in her weekly Substack, CubaCurious, a project she launched in July 2024.
