Reviews
I... couldn't guess where the plot was going; it is fresh, unique. Yoss's humor shines through.... I'm happy to have discovered the world of Yoss and will look for more of his quirky novels., Cuban author Yoss ( Condomnauts ) brings a hard-boiled noir aesthetic to this uproarious space opera about a wisecracking, Raymond Chandler-loving robot detective.... Yoss plays the mix of sci-fi and square-jawed detective fiction for some big laughs while layering in loving allusions to the greats of both genres.... a cinematic shoot-out of a finale, complete with bullets, blasters, and samurai swords. This is good fun., Experienced translator Frye goes with the flow beautifully in a book that code-switches between languages, cultures, literary eras, and genres. An absolute joy to read., For readers similarly attached to Chandler, Raymond will be a delight. His narration is an immensely charming Philip Marlowe impression: goofily self-conscious, often laugh-out-loud funny, and perfectly translated. (I shudder to imagine how hard translating pseudo-Chandler must have been; Frye deserves a tip of the fedora Raymond never takes off.) Red Dust is pastiche at its finest, and it delivers a happy ending that seems to warm even Raymond's robot heart., Raymond is a delight--not overly robotic, but also not entirely human--and the buddy/cop relationship with Vasily is handled with a good dose of humour and heart. Kudos then to Restless Books, who have now translated four of Yoss's novels from Spanish into English--by the wonderful David Frye--with the most evocative and eye-grabbing of covers. It's a privilege to read the work of a writer as inventive and erudite as Yoss, but it wouldn't be possible without the terrific support of publishers like Restless Books., The latest novel by acclaimed Cuban writer Yoss is a quirky blend of science fiction and hard-boiled mystery that follows a robotic police officer as he attempts to catch an infamous criminal--and save humankind in the process.... The trench coat-wearing robotic detective makes for an appealing and at times comedic protagonist, and Yoss' clear and focused writing style keeps the reader turning pages throughout.... action-packed--literally jumping from one adventure to another--and the conclusion's highly satisfying.... a fast, furious, and genuinely fun read., A wild ride from the first page, Red Dust is a highly entertaining space opera indebted to classic detective fiction.... Like Super Extra Grande , Red Dust showcases Yoss's talent for deadpan humor mixed with some of the most outrageous alien species you'll ever read about.... You have to hand it to translator David Frye, who perfectly captured the pitch of this unusual space opera." --Rachel Cordasco, Speculative Fiction in Translation, Praise for A Planet for Rent : " A Planet for Rent is the English-language debut of Yoss, one of Cuba''s most lauded writers of science fiction. Translated by David Frye, these linked stories craft a picture of a dystopian future: Aliens called xenoids have invaded planet Earth, and people are looking to flee the economically and socially bankrupt remains of human civilization. Yoss'' smart and entertaining novel tackles themes like prostitution, immigration and political corruption. Ultimately, it serves as an empathetic yet impassioned metaphor for modern-day Cuba, where the struggle for power has complicated every facet of society." --Juan Vidal, NPR, Best Books of 2015 "Some of the best sci-fi written anywhere since the 1970s.... A Planet for Rent , like its author, a bandana-wearing, muscly roquero, is completely sui generis: riotously funny, scathing, perceptive, and yet also heart-wrenchingly compassionate.... Instantly appealing." --André Naffis-Sahely, The Nation "This hilarious and imaginative novel by Cuba''s premiere science-fiction writer gets my vote for most overlooked novel of the year. Yoss''s book imagines a world where Earth is run as a tourist destination by capitalist aliens who have little regard for the planet or its inhabitants. A Planet for Rent is a perfect SF satire for our era of massive inequality and seemingly unchecked environmental destruction." --Lincoln Michel, VICE Praise for Super Extra Grande : "Intergalactic space travel meets outrageous, biting satire in Super Extra Grande .... Its author [Yoss] is one of the most celebrated--and controversial--Cuban writers of science fiction.... Reminiscent of Douglas Adams--but even more so, the satire of Rabelais and Swift." --Nancy Hightower, The Washington Post "A lighthearted space-opera adventure by Cuban author Yoss.... This novel''s madcap tone is very similar to Douglas Adams''--so much so that it''s almost impossible to avoid drawing such comparisons (although Adams didn''t joke about oral sex with aliens, as Yoss does here). As in Adams'' works, the galaxy''s species are terrifically alien, sporting six breasts and no teeth or breathing methane instead of oxygen.... An exceptionally enjoyable comic tale set in a fully realized, firmly science-fictional universe." --Kirkus, Starred Review Praise for Condomnauts : "Yoss is an eminent Cuban SF writer who also fronts a heavy metal band; his iconoclastic spirit and rock-and-roll aesthetic are on full ingenious display in this daring, rollicking, and joyous novel.... The novel is recognizable as a space opera, but everything from human history to the economics of galactic trade is seen from a richly irreverent angle. Josué is a three-dimensional, well-rounded protagonist whose flaws can be genuinely aggravating without overwhelming his natural charm. When hilarity ensues, as it often does, the laughs are earned and heartfelt. This extended dirty joke is also an impressive science fiction novel with much to say about sex, culture, and what it means to be alien." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "The book pays off in a climax that a well-trained Condomnaut would be proud of. What I loved about Condomnauts isn''t just its unusual structure or how Yoss (mostly) avoids the obvious smutty gags, it''s how he makes this a story about the marginalized. Those earlier scenes detailing Josué''s nightmarish upbringing tie into the book''s overall discussion about those who exist outside the mainstream, whether it''s because of their color, their class, or their sexuality, and who find themselves, due to a strange set of circumstances, empowered to act.... Condomnauts , brought brilliantly into life by David Frye''s translation, is an unconventional space opera that''s heartfelt, brazen, exciting, and just a little bit naughty." --Ian Mond, Locus Magazine, Cuban sf writer Yoss adds a dash of detective noir to his latest space opera.... Yoss has created inventive and dimensional characters within a meticulously orchestrated, richly detailed, world-building mystery that will appeal to Terry Pratchett fans., A wild ride from the first page, Red Dust is a highly entertaining space opera indebted to classic detective fiction.... Like Super Extra Grande , Red Dust showcases Yoss's talent for deadpan humor mixed with some of the most outrageous alien species you'll ever read about.... You have to hand it to translator David Frye, who perfectly captured the pitch of this unusual space opera.
