Book Description
Eleven short stories of the Cuban immigrant experience as characters adjust to life in the United Sates, from an award-winning author. From the prize–winning title story—a masterpiece of humor and heartbreak—unfolds a collection of tales that illuminate the landscape of an exiled community rich in heritage, memory, and longing for the past. In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd is at once “tender and sharp-fanged” as Ana Menéndez evocatively charts the territory from Havana to Coral Gables, Florida, and explores whether any of us are capable, or even truly desirous, of outrunning our origins (LA Weekly). “With the grace of Margaret Atwood and the sensuality of Laura Esquivel,” Menéndez makes an unforgettable debut “rich in metaphor, wisdom, and delicious subtlety” (St. Petersburg Times).

Book Description
Cuba - just the very name brings about visions of rebels with guns and cigars. But there's more to Cuba than Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. There's also hot nights, rum, friendly people and lots of cool dancing. The largest island in the Caribbean has been inhabited by indigenous peoples; colonised by Spanish, French, British and Americans; subsidised by the Russians for sugar and rum; and the American embargo on Cuban trade still exists today. But this is not a history book, this is a travel diary through Cuba, seeing the sights and meeting some great people.

Book Description
“A subtle yet striking collection of sepia-like photographs depicting life in Cuba, coupled with the perceptive observations of a Cuban exile returning home.” —Miami Herald Imagine being unable to return to your homeland for thirty-six years. What would you do if you finally got a chance to go back? In 1996, after travel restrictions between the United States and Cuba were relaxed, Cuban exile Tony Mendoza answered that question. Taking his cameras, notebooks, and an unquenchable curiosity, he returned for his first visit to Cuba since the summer of 1960, when he emigrated with his family at age eighteen. In this book he presents over eighty evocative photographs accompanied by a beautifully written text that mingles the voices of many Cubans with his own to offer a compelling portrait of a resilient people awaiting the inevitable passing of the socialist system that has failed them. His photographs and interviews bear striking witness to the hardships and inequalities that exist in this workers’ “paradise,” where the daily struggle to make ends meet on an average income of eight dollars a month has created a longing for change even in formerly ardent revolutionaries. At the same time, Cuba—Going Back is an eloquent record of a personal journey back in time and memory that will resonate with viewers and readers both within and beyond the Cuban American community. It belongs on the shelves of anyone who values excellent photography and well-crafted prose. “This book, based on the photos and interviews he conducted on his trip, is a remarkable first-hand account of today’s Cuba.” —Library Journal

Book Description
Based on actual events but told in the most sardonic and simple language of a Dobermann dog, this story is about hypocrisy and abuse ordinary Cubans suffer in their own country in the post-revolutionary period. Benz, a Dobermann puppy, is rescued by a foreigner working in a Joint Venture in Cuba in the late 1990s, providing an opportunity for this dog to participate in the adventures of a challenging and exciting new environment. Trained as an Ore Search Dog to detect the scent of the lost gold and silver treasures of The Cathedral of San Ildefonso of Merida, he ventures into the caves of Cabo San Antonio in Guanahacabibes, risking his life to locate the lost treasures. Benz describes his adventures and the dramatic end of an amorous relationship with a local mongrel dog in his notes, which he was able to record by wearing his Brain Clone Helmet, containing the Brain-Computer interface specially developed for him by young Cuban engineers and programmers. This unique Helmet permitted Benz to discriminate minor neural electrical signals in his brain and decode the information, which started his writing career. His story is a political satire about contemporary Cuba with an anthropomorphic touch.

Book Description
When Homo sapiens sapiens met Canis lupus lupus millennia ago, the result was Canis lupus familiaris, the domestic dog. Since that fateful encounter, the dog has become, arguably, humankind’s greatest creation. The domestic dog is the most widely distributed species (other than ourselves) in the world, being found virtually wherever people live, and is also the most diversified of species, with literally hundreds of recognized breeds. While we have shaped the dog, it, too, has helped shape human history in innumerable ways. Our Debt to the Dog is a critical historical and cross-cultural examination, through the use of case studies, of this most improbable 15,000-year relationship and an exploration of how this relationship shaped the history of the world. It is also very much an apology to the dog because over the course of the partnership horrific acts were perpetrated against it intentionally and otherwise. Our Debt to the Dog enriches our understanding of the dog and extends our appreciation for the profound complexity of past and present human-canine relationships and the dog’s contributions to our lives and our world.
