Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 12, 2005 -- New York City artist and author, Joey Infante, will debut his new book, Cuba Escape From Paradise" with a book signing and reading at Barnes and Noble, 152 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, Florida. Infante, who is originally from Banes, Cuba, has been living in New York City for the past forty years, where he is involved in the theatre and arts. Infante also once studied with famed American illustrator, Norman Rockwell, and several of Infantes paintings will be exhibited during this event. Infantes reading and book signing takes place on Saturday, March 12th, from 4-5PM.

Cuba Escape From Paradise" is a human-interest story with a non-political perspective. Infante does address the dire economic situation of the general Cuban population, but he also reminisces about his childhood memories of Cuba and writes about his personal experiences and adventures while traveling throughout the island to discover his Cuban roots.

According to the publishers introduction: This sensitive, caring observation of Cuba and the Cuban people leaves the reader with a feeling for wanting to know more about the island that Infante calls Paradise." Here is an excerpt from the book, My people are so close to freedom; yet, it is so hard to obtain. Perhaps, the Cuban people are being punished for their expression of greed. In the olden days, some had little, while others had much more. At least, we owned ourselves and we made due with what little we had."

Cuba Escape From Paradise" is published by Artist, Soraida, a socially conscious artist and designer who has been promoting tolerance and understanding since 1986. For store location and more information, contact Angela Saiza, Community Relations Manager: 305-446-8627.
