November 3, 2 p.m. at the UConn Barnes & Noble at Storrs Center
Cuban science fiction master Yoss has been world-making for decades, but for most U.S. readers, he may as well have inhabited one of the remote planets he writes about—until now. Yoss will be visiting the United States to participate in several festivals and talks to present his books A Planet for Rent, a colonial allegory that speaks to contemporary Cuban-American relations, and Super Extra Grande, a romping space opera following the adventures of a gigantic veterinarian who specializes in treating gigantic aliens—and saving the universe of course.
Yoss is more than just a sci-fi rockstar with a degree in biology; he has also been a real rockstar frontman in a Havana metal band.
