“It’s a very complete anthology. The publisher has been delighted to be able to present such a select group of Cuban writers, who attest to the force of their literature”.
Verónika Rot, Slovenian publisher
Cuban writers, who continue living and dreaming the myths of their island in those very spatious geographies where they live (in Cuba or in the Diaspora) have preferred always that the god Cronos in person open the doors for them to the perpetuity of their work. Through sincerity. Through literary honesty. Through a reverent cult of the power of the written word. Perhaps in that sincerity, that honesty and that cult of power of the written word, is the reason that answers the great unknown of the critics: why has such a little island almost lost on the map of the world written one of the most solid literatures in the Spanish language? We want to say to Cuban intellectuals that we believe in the realm of liberty that we invent with our arts. This realm of liberty called literature, which, with works of the highest quality of authors like those who gather in this anthology, has once more conquered, with the passage of time, the hurricanes that raze the Caribbean we inhabit and those distances that separate the thousands of cultures that today populate the world.
