Super Extra Grande (Cuban Science Fiction)

Super Extra Grande (Cuban Science Fiction)

â€œIntergalactic space travel meets outrageous, biting satire in Super Extra Grandeâ€¦. Its author [Yoss] is one of the most celebratedâ€”and controversialâ€”Cuban writers of science fictionâ€¦. Reminiscent of Douglas Adamsâ€”but even more so, the satire of Rabelais and Swift.â€ â€”The Washington Post

In a distant future in which Latin Americans have pioneered faster-than-light space travel, Dr. Jan Amos Sangan Dongo has a job with large and unusual responsibilities: heâ€™s a veterinarian who specializes in treating enormous alien animals. Mountain-sized amoebas, multisex species with bizarre reproductive processes, razor-nailed, carnivorous humanoid hunters: Dr. Sangan has seen it all. When a colonial conflict threatens the fragile peace between the galaxyâ€™s seven intelligent species, he must embark on a daring mission through the insides of a gigantic creature and find two swallowed ambassadorsâ€”who also happen to be his competing love interests.

Funny, witty, raunchy, and irrepressibly vivacious, Super Extra Grande is a rare specimen in the richly parodic tradition of Cuban science fiction, and could only have been written by a Cuban heavy-metal rock star with a biology degree: the inimitable Yoss.
