Coffee and literature or art and sugar? Rival Sunday supplement writers clash under 1970s Cuban skies. Stars Dinsdale Landen.

"They're all the same these places... guided tour of collective farms, National folk-dance company, Kindergarten where they sing you a patriotic song. You go along with it for a couple of days before you put the boot in. Insist on seeing the jails. My name's Owen by the way. I'm doing it for one of the colour mags."
