Eleven short stories of the Cuban immigrant experience as characters adjust to life in the United Sates, from an award-winning author. From the prize–winning title story—a masterpiece of humor and heartbreak—unfolds a collection of tales that illuminate the landscape of an exiled community rich in heritage, memory, and longing for the past. In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd is at once "tender and sharp-fanged" as Ana Menéndez evocatively charts the territory from Havana to Coral Gables, Florida, and explores whether any of us are capable, or even truly desirous, of outrunning our origins ( LA Weekly). "With the grace of Margaret Atwood and the sensuality of Laura Esquivel," Menéndez makes an unforgettable debut "rich in metaphor, wisdom, and delicious subtlety" ( St. Petersburg Times).
