Back in 2006, I
blogged about photographer
Simone Lueck's gallery of photos of TV in Cuban families' homes. She's since gotten a deal to print the photos in a
handsome volume, recently out from Mark Batty: "In Cuba, television is the most important communication medium and a national pastime. No matter that the TV sets themselves are outdated, pre-revolution relics imported from America or sets from Russia over fifteen years old; green-hued beasts jimmy-rigged with ancient computer parts and fantastically adorned like religious altars."
