Cuban Science Fiction
Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction of 2016 • 2017 Philip K. Dick Award Finalist • Best Translated Book Award Longlist • Barnes and Noble Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of 2016
“Intergalactic space travel meets outrageous, biting satire in Super Extra Grande…. Its author [Yoss] is one of the most celebrated — and controversial — Cuban writers of science fiction…. Reminiscent of Douglas Adams — but even more so, the satire of Rabelais and Swift.”

BY YOSS
TRANSLATED FROM THE SPANISH BY DAVID FRYE
Limited Edition Signed Copy
Cuban Science Fiction
“A Planet for Rent is the English-language debut of Yoss, one of Cuba's most lauded writers of science fiction. Translated by David Frye, these linked stories craft a picture of a dystopian future: Aliens called xenoids have invaded planet Earth, and people are looking to flee the economically and socially bankrupt remains of human civilization. Yoss' smart and entertaining novel tackles themes like prostitution, immigration and political corruption. Ultimately, it serves as an empathetic yet impassioned metaphor for modern-day Cuba, where the struggle for power has complicated every facet of society”

Winner of The Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing
Winner of The Hindu Prize
Best Books of 2017: Booklist, Kirkus, San Francisco Chronicle
"Guest workers of the United Arab Emirates embody multiple worlds and identities and long for home in a fantastical debut work of fiction, winner of the inaugural Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing.… The author's crisp, imaginative prose packs a punch, and his whimsical depiction of characters who oscillate between two lands on either side of the Arabian Sea unspools the kind of immigrant narratives that are rarely told. An enchanting, unparalleled anthem of displacement and repatriation."
