It seems worth noting that on his historic visit to Cuba, President Obama's very first activity was laying a wreath at the memorial of José Martí. As the president, who was himself somewhat of a poetry snob in his younger days, must know, Cuban literature has always been closely intertwined with its politics (Martí was as much a poetic founding father as he was a military and nationalist hero), and the written word will be a significant part of fostering meaningful exchange between the long-separated Cuba and United States. In honor of the president's official visit (the first since Calvin Coolidge's in 1928), check out Restless's Cuban Science Fiction Bundle—the first two books in the groundbreaking series, Agustín de Rojas's A Legend of the Future and Yoss's A Planet for Rent, for the steeply discounted price of just $20, available only from Restless.
