Ybor City, Florida, seems to be a happy, secure place in 1958. Three aging sisters - Mina, Clemencia, and Dolores - look forward to seeing their children, in-laws, and grandchildren come for a pleasant visit to this quiet, blue-collar neighborhood that all three call home. But beneath the calm surface, fierce currents surge: old family rivalries, sexual intrigues, class envies, political antagonism, even borderline criminal activity. No one has realized it yet, but this proud Cuban-American clan stands on the brink of a terrible fall.

Yglesias, Jose, Home Again: A Novel

Home Again

Arbor House Pub. Co

It's the last go-round for German Moran, an elderly writer with the courage to stare death in the eye, but who nevertheless bemoans the frailties and indignities of old age. This curmudgeon with a sensitive artist's ego takes the reader on an intellectual and emotional adventure occasioned by his infatuation with a lovely young actress. His rival in the affair is a handsome, dashing, but insensitive -- and also very married -- movie producer who happens to be his son! This charming swan song of a novel is populated with other lively and unforgettable characters from the New York art and literary scene -- all to entertain and divert us from the larger underlying, eternal questions about death and dying.

The Guns in the Closet

When Pini was a little boy, his Cuban-American family always spoke with mistrust of a mysterious Them: the big-shot capitalists, the good old boys, the rich and the powerful.Now that he's grown into a worldly, successful adult, however, the only Them that still mystifies Pini is his own family. Especially the women; his naive sister Eloisa (with her multiple husbands); his mother and her five sisters (especially Mama Chucha, famous for her shrieking laugh and countless children); and even Grandmother, who landed in Key West in 1890 with an aristocratic upbringing and strangely little else.Pini fears that in another generation, his family's history may simply disappear, or "at best only linger like a scent after a beautiful woman has left the room." And so he determines to capture and set down their stories. From the humorous to the horrifying, here is a candid, sensitive portrayal of the changing generations of one Cuban-American family. Here is The Truth about Them.
