Peter Carey & “Rent” Goes to Cuba

Studio 360

Peter Carey’s latest novel, “Amnesia,” is about government surveillance, cyber terrorism, and the legacy of America’s bullying intelligence agencies. He was inspired to write it after turning down an offer to ghostwrite Julian Assange’s autobiography. We hear how lifting the embargo will affect Cuba’s artists; and Havana gets its first Broadway transfer since the Revolution — the critique of capitalism known as “Rent.”
