Cuban science-fiction master and heavy-metal rocker Yoss has been world-building for decades, but for most U.S. readers, he may as well have inhabited one of the remote planets he writes about—until now. Yoss will tour the US to present his books A Planet for Rent, an allegory of alien colonization that speaks to contemporary Cuban-American relations, and Super Extra Grande, a romping space opera following the adventures of a gigantic veterinarian who specializes in treating gigantic aliens—and saving the galaxy.
Yoss opens his tour in Brooklyn with a live heavy-metal show, cohosted by BOMB Magazine.
