  <about><![CDATA[After working for Time Magazine as a researcher, reporter, and Miami bureau chief, Garcia turned to writing fiction. Her first novel, &lt;i&gt;Dreaming in Cuban&lt;/i&gt; (1992), received critical acclaim and was a finalist for the National Book Award. She has since published her novels &lt;i&gt;The Agüero Sisters&lt;/i&gt; (1997) and &lt;i&gt;Monkey Hunting&lt;/i&gt; (2003), and has edited books of Cuban and other Latin American literature. Her fourth novel, &lt;i&gt;A Handbook to Luck&lt;/i&gt;, was released in hardcover in 2007 and came out in paperback in April 2008.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka ]]></influences>    <hometown>Havana</hometown>
