*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 ...

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).
