About the Book

Ángel Santiesteban Prats es un fabulador tozudamente apegado a la violencia humana como tema y eje central de su narrativa. Una violencia que él ha sabido desnudar en sus vertientes más cotidianas, en sus aristas más conocidas o invisibles, en sus implicaciones íntimas o públicas, en sus resonancias éticas o ideológicas, configurando así uno de los más lúcidos acercamientos que la literatura cubana ha hecho hasta el presente a una de las fenoménicas menos estudiadas de la sociedad cubana: la imbricación de la violencia y su aceptación como modus vivendi por quienes han habitado Cuba (o esos espacios habitables de la cubanía errante que existen en el exilio) en las últimas cinco décadas. En este libro se incluyen como primicia tres cuentos de su más reciente e inédito volumen de narraciones (Zona de silencio), escrito en la cárcel y que aún revisa, por lo cual estas deben ser consideradas muestras de un trabajo en proceso, pero también pueden leerse otras historias que sirven para mostrar esos diversos estratos, esas capas, esas columnas con las que ha construido ese ámbito de la violencia que, ya lo hemos dicho, es eje y esencia de su particular mirada sobre la vida en Cuba.

About the Author: Ángel Santiesteban Prats (La Habana, 1966). Graduado de Dirección de Cine. En 1989 ganó mención en el concurso Juan Rulfo, que convoca Radio Francia Internacional, y el relato fue publicado en Le Monde Diplomatique, Letras Cubanas y la revista El cuento, de México. En 1995, envía al premio nacional del gremio de escritores (UNEAC), ganándolo en esa oportunidad; pero por su visión humana (o inhumana) hacia la realidad de la guerra en Angola, donde participaron los cubanos por espacio de 15 años, fue retenida su publicación. El libro: Sueño de un día de verano, fue publicado en 1998. En 1999 ganó el premio César Galeano, que convoca el Centro Literario Onelio Jorge Cardoso. Y en el 2001, el Premio Alejo Carpentier que organiza el Instituto Cubano del Libro con el conjunto de relatos: Los hijos que nadie quiso. En el 2006, gana el premio Casa de las Américas en el género de cuento con el libro: Dichosos los que lloran. En 2013 ganó el Premio Internacional Franz Kafka de Novelas de Gaveta, convocado en la República Checa con la novela El verano en que Dios dormía, que va ya por dos ediciones: Editions FRA, República Checa, 2013 y NeoClub Ediciones, Estados Unidos, 2014. Ha publicado en México, España, Puerto Rico, Suiza, China, Inglaterra, República Dominicana, Francia, EE UU, Colombia, Portugal, Martinica, Italia, Canadá, entre otros países. Desde el 2008 mantiene su blog personal Los hijos que nadie quiso. Actualmente reside en La Habana.
