Publishers Weekly Review of THE PLAYWRIGHT’S HOUSE!

I’m so excited to have gotten this positive Publishers Weekly review for THE PLAYWRIGHT’S HOUSE!

“Fans of realistic political thrillers won’t want to miss this one,” it concludes. As someone who really cares about plot, I take it as badge of honor that they tagged the novel as a thriller.

I feel so incredibly fortunate and grateful for all the people who’ve helped me with this book along the way!

Debut Novel has Release Date and is Available for Pre-Order!

I’m super stoked to share that the release of my debut novel, THE PLAYWRIGHT’S HOUSE, has been officially set for June 15th, 2021. And, the book is already available for pre-order! Please bear with me over the next few months, as I try my best to get this Cuban novel (which deals with art, politics, a surveillance state, journalism as activism, exile, and family tragedy) off the ground. Your support is much appreciated ❤️🇨🇺

Paris Review Contributor’s Best of 2019!

Immensely grateful and delighted that Jonathan Escoffery picked A Kind of Solitude as one of his favorite books of 2019 for The Paris Review: “Suarez masterfully collides the personal and the political, moving characters and circumstance toward each other like pieces on a chessboard.”

Personal Essay Publication!

So cool to have a personal essay about science, migration, family dynamics, and Soviet influence on Cuba in the 40th anniversary issue of The Threepenny Review. This has been one of my favorite publications for a long time. I’m honored to be alongside some great writers, including a literary idol in Javier Marías. Ten years ago something like this felt like a ridiculous dream.
