Never Through Miami

Never through Miami: El as Sandoval, the anxious protagonist of Quesada's charming, lighthearted short novel, is sweating bullets as he stands before curt immigration officials at Miami International Airport in a valiant attempt to get a six-month visa into America (...) Quesada's energetic prose makes this a swift, pleasing read-and nice reinforcement for anyone doubting the hopes and dreams powering America and its melting-pot population. -Publishers Weekly. Praise for Roberto Quesada's writing: "Roberto Quesada is a lively and gifted writer full of amusing and thought-provoking ideas." - Kurt Vonnegut "Quesada's frenetic, loping prose style" -The New York Times Book Review. "Quesada is at his inventive peak when recreating New York's bohemian Latino colony with illuminating clarity." - Library journal on The Big Banana
