Yoss Books

Born José Miguel Sánchez Gómez, Yoss assumed his pen name in 1988, when he won the Premio David Award in the science fiction category for Timshel. Together with his peculiar pseudonym, the author's aesthetic of an impentinent rocker has allowed him to stand out amongst his fellow Cuban writers. Earning a degree in Biology in 1991, he went on to graduate from the first ever course on Narrative Techniques at the Onelio Jorge Cardoso Center of Literary Training, in the year 1999. Today, Yoss writes both realistic and science fiction works. Alongside these novels, the author produces essays, reviews, and compilations, and actively promotes the Cuban science fiction literary workshops, Espiral and Espacio Abierto.

The Journey

Miguel Collazo - 2020-07-07

Goodreads Rating

2.4 (8)

Discover a parable of social progress and metaphysical exploration in Miguel Collazo's classic 1960s sci-fi novel, introduced by Cuban author Yoss. Follow generations of Ambarians as they wander through ruins, broadcast images and memories, and await a life-changing transformation known as The Journey. Immerse yourself in a world filled with intelligent automatons, intricate family trees, and huge desert flowers as Collazo's evocative storytelling traces the makings of a civilization that has lost its way and rebuilds itself in a desolate landscape. A multi-generational saga that explores what binds us as a community and the roles that memory, affection, and hope play in our history - an essential read for anyone interested in the roots of Cuban literature and science fiction.
