Description:

At once meditative, confessional, and political, Suarez's work displays the refracted nature of a life of exile spent in Cuba, Spain, and the United States. Connected through memory and desire, Caribbean palms wave over American junk mail. Cuban mangoes rot on Miami hospital trays. Shakespeare visits Havana. Suarez is one of the most important Latino writers of his generation.
