A Bridge in Darkness

A 39-year-old exile in Miami gets a note from a dying father in Cuba, telling him he has a half-brother living in the same city. Carlos Victoria's novel in Spanish, "Puente en la oscuridad", won the important Letras de Oro prize for 1993. "A Bridge in Darkness", the new edition by Pureplay Press, offers an intimate picture of an environment scarcely accessible to English-language readers: the world of the Cuban exile. It also represents the first substantial appearance in English of a writer widely recognized as a master storyteller.
