SPD Recommends FLOCKS / REBAÑOS by Zurelys López Amaya (Cubanabooks).
"In this provocative book, Zurelys López Amaya examines with lucid tenderness the collective existence of the flock. Encircled by the unknown, flanked by fear, the flock survives in cautious monotony but is not hopeless. Detached from tiresome political discourses, la libertad, freedom, is evasive yet constantly possible. In FLOCKS / REBAÑOS the reader experiences la libertad as an object just barely out of sight—like that bus taking forever to arrive. The English translation is full of felicitous resolutions. While the book is a courageous insight into Cuban reality, it will give pasture for thought to readers around the world."—Pilar Cabrera Fonte
