A Planet for Rent

ebook

The most successful and controversial Cuban Science Fiction writer of all time, Yoss (aka José Miguel Sánchez Gómez) is known for his acerbic portraits of the island under Communism. In his bestselling A Planet for Rent, Yoss pays homage to Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and 334 by Thomas M. Disch. A critique of Cuba in the nineties, after the fall of the Soviet Union and the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, A Planet for Rent marks the debut in English of an astonishingly brave and imaginative Latin American voice.

Praise for Yoss

"One of the most prestigious science fiction authors of the island." –On Cuba Magazine

"A gifted and daring writer." –David Iaconangelo

"José Miguel Sánchez [Yoss] is Cuba's most decorated science fiction author, who has cultivated the most prestige for this genre in the mainstream, and the only person of all the Island's residents who lives by his pen." –Cuenta Regresiva
