*Winner of an Edgar Award.
"Celebrated in Latin America for his noir detective fiction, Uruguayan author Chavarria makes his English-language debut with this fast-paced novel, set in Cuba ... Mixed together, these ingredients make a zesty Cuban paella of a novel that's impossible to put down. This is a great read, recommended ..."

AMERICAN VISA.
a novel by Juan de Recacoechea translated by Adrian Althoff, 264 pages, trade paperback, $14.95 "Dark and quirky, a revealing excursion to a place over which 'the gringos' to the north always loom."
-New York Times Book Review.
"Harrowing and hilarious." -Boston Globe.
"A serious novel made palatable by humor as dry as the Andean uplands in which it is set." -Kirkus Reviews THE DUPPY.
a novel by Anthony C. Winkler.
178 pages, trade paperback, $13.95.
"Winkler has a fine ear for patois and dialogue, and a love of language that makes bawdy jokes crackle."
-New Yorker.
"Winkler never glosses over Jamaican deprivation, prejudice, and violence, yet the love of language-and the language of love-somehow conquers all. It's almost as if P.G. Wodehouse had strolled into the world of Bob Marley ... Winkler's fiction magics the island into a place of rough-edged enchantment."
-Independent (UK).
