About the Author
Oscar Hijuelos (1951-2013) was born in New York City, a second-generation Cuban-American. His first novel, Our House in the Last World was awarded the Rome Prize of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He became the first Latino writer to win the Pulitzer Prize when it was awarded to his second novel, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, later adapted as a film (1992) and a stage musical (2005). He went on to publish six other novels (including the Young Adult book Dark Dude) and the memoir Thoughts without Cigarettes; his novel Twain and Stanley Enter Paradise was published posthumously.

Lori Marie Carlson-Hijuelos is an editor, translator, novelist, and anthologist whose collections include Cool Salsa, Red Hot Salsa, and A Path to the World: Becoming You. She is author of the novels The Sunday Tertulia, The Flamboyant, and A Stitch in Air, and the translator of Marjorie Agosín's La luz del deseo (The Light of Desire). She is the widow of Oscar Hijuelos, whom she married in 1998.
