"This unique anthology--the first to gather the diversity of contemporary Cuban voices in one volume--should create a great interest among readers who want to acquaint themselves with the literary side of Cuba. Highly recommended." --Library Journal
"Nicely varied selections. . . illuminating." --Kirkus Reviews
¡Cubanísimo! is the first book to gather Cuban stories, essays, poems and novel excerpts in one volume that summarizes the richness and depth of a great national literature. From the turn of the century to the present, from Havana to Miami, New York, Mexico City, Madrid and beyond, the spirit and diversity of Cuban culture converge in one vibrant literary jam session. Cristina García has ingeniously grouped her selections according to "the music of their sentences" into five sections named for Cuban dance styles.
A brilliant introduction for readers who want to explore Cuban literature, as well as a collectible volume for those who love Cuba, ¡Cubanísimo! is a celebration of Cuban culture, from the island to its farthest flung voices.
