According to an old BookExpo listing, The Colchie Agency is a "(s)mall literary agency specializing in world rights to upmarket international fiction; also representing agents and publishers for English language markets and film."

From Wikipedia:

Palace of the White Skunks focuses on an adolescent, Fortunato, who was raised in a house of frustrated aunts, a primal grandmother and an emasculated grandfather. The novel is set during the 1959 Cuban Revolution and follows the main character as he clumsily joins the rebels. The acclaimed editor, Thomas Colchie, has written, that in this work, “Arenas has created a haunting family portrait, combining the lyrical empathy of a Tennessee Williams toward his characters’ troubled lives with a radically fractured narrative that pays dark tribute less to Faulkner than to the schizophrenia of life under any dictatorial extreme.” (Colchie 2001)
