Night Watch is David William Foster's translation of La Noche Vigilada, the story of a Cuban writer named Alberto who has lived all of his life under the oppressive Castro regime, enduring political imprisonment for his writings. His nocturnal wanderings in Havana lead him from a colonial caf�, where he begins an intense romance with a young woman, to an unforeseen trip on a raft across the Straits of Florida to Miami as he flees Cuban authorities. Accompanied by his lover, he becomes part of the exile community in Miami where he is lost without a compass, struggling to create a way of life that will help him deal with the pain of exile.
