Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Pushcart Prize winner Ana Menendez landed firmly in the literary landscape last year with the hardcover publication of In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd. Reviewers overwhelmingly agree that she is an important new voice in American fiction: hers is a bright debut that points to even brighter accomplishments to come (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times), a tour de force that is poignant and varied, emotionally vivid and hauntingly melancholy (San Francisco Chronicle), and a Cuban odyssey that conjures up Eugene O'Neill-like drama (Kirkus Reviews). In these linked tales about the Cuban-American experience and the immigrant experience in general, Ana Menendez has instantly established herself as a natural storyteller who probes with steady humor and astute political insight the dreams versus the realities of her characters (Elle). From the prizewinning title story -- a masterpiece of humor and heartbreak -- unfolds a series of family snapshots 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 (L.A.
