Habaneras. Diez narradoras cubanas

Ten stories, ten women writers, ten incisive and different viewpoints are collected in this book, an unusual demonstration of the vitality and richness of contemporary Cuban literature. Whats more, Habaneras is the narrative voice of women, of the voices of these ten distinguished authors covering three generations in complete creative activity, with their particular vision of violence, love, dreams, and antagonisms in Cuba at the end of the 20th century.
Mirta Yánez shows in this work that the most relevant detail of todays Cuban women writers is their special realism: a realism that the Cuban storytellers have made by amplifying the range of everyday life, adding the absurd to daily living, magic, the supernatural, humor, fantasy, and aloofness. Behind it all, like a background curtain, is the political scene, the society, and ideas.
This story collection is, altogether, an unsuspected look and every narration is, in itself, a surprise.
