A Wake in Ybor City

Originally published in 1963, this 35th anniversary edition of an American classic brought the author's name to national prominence and remains the touchstone for his subsequent career. With an introduction by the author's son, Rafael Yglesias, this highly autobiographical novel recounts three days in the life of a Cuban-American family in 1958, as they are confronted by a series of crises. A Wake in Ybor City is a richly complex, entertaining peek into the workings of Cuban-American culture that was far ahead of its time when first published.
