Book excerpt: This book is a collection of short stories, often based on or influenced by, personal experiences. Their themes are quite diverse, including realistic stories, science fiction, fantasy and adventure. Some are set in the past; some in the present; and some in the future. Some, such as "The Volunteer's Tale" and "The House of Lies", deal with social problems. Others, including "Canine Fantasies", are pure fantasy. "The Uninvited Guest" combines elements of both. "The Decoy" enlarges whimsically upon an unpleasant travel experience. While some stories have a social message, their primary purpose is to entertain.

Download or read book Forbidden Fruit and Other Stories written by Pablo La Rosa and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 1996-11-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In masterful tales of coming of age and becoming marginalized during the Cuban Revolution and its aftermath, Pablo La Rosa nostalgically looks back at a childhood spent by the seaside and creates a mosaic of poignant experiences seen through the glaring lens of race and exile. Neither the advantages of race or education, however, can exempt the disoriented protagonist from their perceived loss of homeland, integrity, identity. In the masterful ñEl Marielito,î La Rosa captures the bewilderment of a black man, marginalized by his race and circumstances in pre and post revolutionary Cuba and during his exile in the United States. Equally on the margin in spite of the advantages of education and race, a Cuban college student can relate only to a Russian janitor; though they share no common language they wordlessly share a longing for their lost homelands. La Rosa exhibits a penchant for the whimsical and experimental in homage to Latin American masters Jose Donoso, Carlos Fuentes, and Julio Cortàzar. His stylistic journey takes us from the magically real to psychological suspense and adventure. La RosaÍs masterful pen captivates our imagination and projects the reader into the souls of his characters.
