    Gainesville: University Press of Florida (1994.) dj. Hardcover first edition - "Reinaldo Arenas is considered one of the most important Cuban writers of recent decades. His most ambitious project was a pentalogy on Cuban history, a magnificent literary legacy that he worked on intermittently from the time he was eighteen. . . Arenas described these five books as both a writer's autobiography and a metaphor of Cuban history. Francisco Soto's study, the first to examine the quintet in its entirety and in English, considers the five-book sequence in the context of Cuba's state-sanctioned tradition that promotes documentary novels of immediate and practical utility. Soto argues that Arenas subverted that tradition, insisting that the writer's voice must be a call for freedom, challenging both literary and social establishments. Arenas's criticism of the Cuban Revolution was more than an attack against communism, Soto says; it was an angry cry against injustice and against a system that persecuted him simply for being homosexual." Includes a conversation that took place between Arenas and Soto, revised and expanded by Arenas shortly before his suicide. Notes, bibliography, xi, 193 pp. ISBN: 0-813013151.

    Charlottesville, VA: University Press of Virginia, 1996. dj. Hardcover first edition - 'Lopez led the first armed challenge to Spain's long dominion over Cuba. While U.S. historians have tended to view Lopez-with his ties to Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, John C.

Between 1848 and 1851 Lopez tried five times to dislodge Cuba's Spanish government. After fleeing to the United States in the wake of an aborted uprising within Cuba, Lopez organized four separate expeditionary forces.'

    New York: SOHO Press, (1999.). SIGNED first edition - A retelling of 'Wuthering Heights' set in nineteenth century Cuba and Conde's native island of Guadalupe, in the years after emancipation. In commenting about this book, she stated she had long wanted to write it as a homage to the Bronte novel: "To be part of so many worlds - part of the African world because of the African slaves, part of the European world because of the European education - is a kind of double entendre. You can use that in your own way and give sentences another meaning. I was so pleased when I was doing that work, because it was a game, a kind of perverse but joyful game." Translated from the French by Richard Philcox. SIGNED on the title page by both Conde and Richard Philcox, her husband and translator. Philcox has translated most of Conde's books and Conde has both expressed her confidence in him and said that she considers him "responsible" for the book in English - that is, for the flow and rhythm and music of the language. In 2018, she was the winner of the New Academy prize in literature, a one-off award intended to fill the void left by the cancellation of that year's scandal-dogged Nobel prize for literature. In making this award, Ann Palsson, the chair of the judges, commented "She describes the ravages of colonialism and the post-colonial chaos in a language which is both precise and overwhelming. . . The dead live in her stories closely to the living in a world where gender, race and class are constantly turned over in new constellations. 348 pp.
