“Cuba’s Answer to The Brothers Karamazov … In Brothers David Landau, a veteran observer of Cuban and Latin American affairs, tells a big story by focusing on a small cast: two brothers and the people and events that touched their lives … The brothers, Mr. Landau writes, ‘would only ask for truth … The least one can do in a story about them is to apply the same standard.’ It’s a high standard, but the author meets it.”

PUREPLAY PRESS A WINNER IN INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARDS

Breve historia de Cuba by Jaime Suchlicki, published by Pureplay Press in late 2006, has won Best Book of the Year from the International Latino Book Awards in the Spanish-language History/Politics category. The contest results were announced May 31, 2007 at Book Expo America in New York.

While these awards carry no financial gift, their prestige is high. Major publishers, along with independents like Pureplay Press, compete for them.

Breve historia de Cuba is the second book from Pureplay Press to win a “Best of the Year” from the Latino Book Awards. The first, in 2004, was our bilingual poetry book, Por el camino de Sade/Sade’s Way by Néstor Díaz de Villegas. The award to Suchlicki’s book carries extra significance, given the topicality of its subject matter and Cuba’s ongoing political crisis.
