Whites Can Dance Too (2023)
Kalaf Epalanga
"A novel full of swag and swing, entertaining and courageous . . . Whites Can Dance Too is an excellent first novel."

Call Me Cassandra (2022)
Marcial Gala
"It has been many years since I read a novel that excited me so much and so deeply. Marcial Gala surprises in the dexterity, audacity and elegance with which he articulates a very original fictional mechanism, creating a narrator who remembers the future as much as the past-but is condemned to have no one believe his predictions. Call Me Cassandra takes a brave and sensitive look at Cuba's participation in the Angolan civil war. If there are books that restore our faith in literature, and literature's ability to make the other known to us, this is one of them."
