Cuban authors, please?
Filed Under Latin American Literature
I asked this in a different category, but am giving it a shot here, even though this category is travel. Still, plenty of people know a lot of stuff about Cuba, so…
If anyone can help:
I took a class in college years ago on Latin American literature where we focused mostly on “literatura costumbrista”. I fell in love with it, but the books from the class and others that I have bought over the years encompass authors from a nice variety of countries, but definitely not all of them. I’ve been wanting lately to find some great short story literature from Cuba. I have no idea what any authors are like, or what any of them tend to write about. I love Gabriel Garcia Marquez (sorry to be cliche, but come one, he is good!), Rubem Fonseca, Ana Lydia Vega, and others. I love their styles of writing. Truly entertaining. In any case, I want to expand my world and venture into Cuba. I’m hoping someone has some good authors to suggest. Thank you!
