Abelardo Morell 1948年生于古巴的哈瓦那。他的父亲在古巴革命中两度入狱,1962年通过小道消息得知自己已经在行刑名单上后,他父亲带着全家逃难到美国。从看着熟悉的人们卷入仇杀的噩梦中走出不久,迁移到新奥尔良的一家人又不自主地被推入新奥尔良种族运动的水深火热中。他们辗转来到纽约,暂居在一间地下室。 Abelardo Morell was born in Cuba in Havana in 1948. His father was jailed twice during the Cuban revolution, and in 1962 he learned through clichés that he had been on the execution list and his father had fled to the United States with his family. Not long after the familiar nightmare of being involved in vendetta was seen, the family relocating to New Orleans involuntarily pushed into the heat of the New Orleans race. They came to New York and resided temporarily in a basement.
