        Erinnerungen an die Unterentwicklung

        Roman

        by Edmundo Desnoes, Gisbert Haefs, Edmundo Desnoes

        »Alle, die mich geliebt und bis zur letzten Minute genervt haben, sind fort. Zuerst wollte ich abhauen, sobald ich die Alte geküßt hatte – Laura mochte mir nicht einmal die Hand geben –, aber dann beschloß ich, auf die Aussichtsterrasse zu gehen und bis zum Schluß zu bleiben. Das Flugzeug setzte sich träge in Bewegung und röhrte über die Piste; danach verlor es sich leise in der Luft.« So beginnt der wohl ungewöhnlichste Roman aus Kuba nach der Revolution: als Selbstbehauptung radikaler Einsamkeit. Der Erzähler Sergio ist nach Castros Sieg im Land geblieben, obwohl das Möbelgeschäft seiner Eltern enteignet wurde und die gesamte Familie die Insel in Richtung USA verlassen hat. Mit den Augen des Fremdgewordenen registriert er die Veränderungen bei sich und den anderen, und wie am lebenden Objekt seziert er seine Frauenbeziehungen. Edmundo Desnoes gelingt in diesen nur halbfiktiven Aufzeichnungen das Unerhörte: Ambivalenz, wo Standpunkt gefordert wird.

        The Story of Y

        by Yareli Arizmendi

        The Story of Y, fits inside the genre of Memoir without being a linear biography or a reflection at a distance. With its first person of the present narrative point of view, it insists in jumping back in time to understand what was brewed there and if it became (or not), a crucial part of what is today. The main character, driven by a tragic event - the death of her father, whom she never saw again since she was nineteen- reluctantly must rearrange the boxes in that closet in which, when she was young, managed to pile the unnecessary and close the door…until today.

        Mexique

        El nombre del barco

        by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas

        On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one.  This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.
