About the Book

A novel that explores a harsh period in the 1990's Cuba. The author takes us through passages that today's Cuban literature still hasn't been able to uncover. A world where the actors dwell helpless; suppressed by a reality more powerful than themselves that frames and subjugates them. The depiction of the daily state of things for these characters is overwhelming. At the same time the author challenges our intellect; tries to sweep away concepts and half truths that perhaps he had to overcome himself. Una novela que explora las interioridades de una época azarosa en la Cuba de los noventa. Un micro mundo donde los actores deambulan indefensos a merced de una realidad más poderosa que ellos mismos que los enmarca y subyuga. La descripción de la vida cotidiana para estos seres es sobrecogedora. A su vez el autor juega con nuestro intelecto, trata de dinamitar conceptos y verdades a medias que él mismo un día, acaso, tuvo que derribar.
