Virgil Suarez s latest short story collection his first in more
than two decades is subversive and emotionally piercing. A man
whose yard is plagued by armadillos, a pair of boys who torment
scorpions with gasoline fires, and a father s best friend wasting
away with an illness as a son watches the deterioration with
fascination and disgust these are just a few of the characters in
these seventeen stories that reveal a dark, satiric view of the
human condition that s somehow ferocious and, at times, funny.
Shades of Denis Johnson and George Saunders run throughout this
potent volume of new stories. Whether he s writing about Havana,
Miami, or other less exotic locales, Suarez has the ironic distance
of an outsider while capturing the details only insiders know. The
Soviet Circus Comes to Havana and Other Stories is an apt addition
to the world of short fiction.
