From the Publisher:
Written in "a cold, unornamented, Hemingwayesque style, always straightforward and cinematic" (The New York Times Book Review), Virgil Suarez's The Cutter rivals Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon and Alexander Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich as an utterly convincing and human portrayal of life in a police state.
About the Author:
Virgil Suarez was born in Cuba in 1962. He left his homeland in 1970 with his parents, living in Spain for several years before coming to the United States. His other novels include Latin Jazz, Havana Thursdays, and Going Under.

Paperback Original. 212 pages. paperback. Cover design by Donald E. Munson. keywords: Literature Ethnic America Cuba. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Julian Campos, having served Castro's Cuba as a soldier and sugarcane cutter, is presently a university student awaiting permission to emigrate. Five years earlier his parents were stopped at the airport and told that they could not take their son with them to America. They proceeded to get on the plane, leaving Julian in the care of his grandmother. Now the young man has finally been notified that he, too, may leave, but only if he first agrees to an additional six months of 'voluntary' work for the state's Ten-Million-Ton Sugarcane Program. Julian does his time - hard labor in the fields while living in barracks behind barbed wire fences. The news of his grandmother's death is withheld from him for weeks, and he is locked up when he protests. Finally, he is informed that he is being sent back to the army. Fed up, Julian joins a clandestine group planning to take a boat to Florida under cover of night. In direct and uncluttered prose, Suarez's ( Latin Jazz ) powerful novel about one individual's response to the abuses and arbitrariness of totalitarianism shows us how ordinary people can be driven to take extraordinary risks. - PUBLSIHERS WEEKLY. inventory #13180.
