Description

A bestseller in Europe, this exuberant novel from one of Cubas most important contemporary writers is as outrageously funny as it is erotically charged.

While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
