“Amir Valle and Berta Medina hand us a solid anthology thanks to the selection of the authors who are today devoted, who demonstrate that the national Ernest Hemingway contest is a prize to win if it purports to give, with earned prestige, the first steps onto the territory of present-day Cuban fiction”.
Dulce María Sotolongo, Cuban publisher
The National Ernest Hemingway Prize for the Short Story, convoked by Cuban cultural institutions and the Casa Museo Finca Vigia (named after the residence of the North American writer in Cuba until a short time before his death), has been converted in the last years into an important site of this fraternal literary competition, abundant in any corner of Cuba. In the present selection are found fiction writers who won prizes in this contest before converting themselves into what they are today, essential voices of present-day Cuban literature: Atilio Caballero, Alexis Díaz Pimienta, Jorge Domingo, Francisco García González, Alberto Guerra Naranjo, José Antonio Martínez Coronel, David Mitrani and José Miguel Sánchez (Yoss).
