JERSEY CITY, NJ — "Fatherlands: Identities of a Cuban American," the debut book by long-time New Jersey resident Charles Lopez Bruns, is now available in print and digital formats. It is a memoir with a twist about the author’s journey from Charles Lopez to Charles Bruns and how his identity and experiences as a son, stepson and father impacted his family and career.

It also touches upon his time in Cuba near the beginning of the Revolution, Cuban immigration in the U.S., and Cuban Americans the author has gotten to know during his life.

Among the stories the author shares in his book are attending a Cuban old-timers baseball game at the since-demolished Roosevelt Stadium in Union City, and observing three generations of a family worked inside their crowded Chinese Cuban restaurant in Union City.
