Esta es la historia de un joven adolescente lanzado a las calles de La Habana de los años noventa. Una novela basada en hechos reales, escrita crudamente, sin aderezon ni adornos, en la mejor tradición del realismo sucio. Pedro Juan Gutiérrez continúa aquí su saga sobre la ciudad caribeña y su gente más pobre y marginal: mendigos, prostitutas, travestis, vendedores callejeros, pícaros, borrachos, los habitantes de un edificio abandonado y en ruinas, tipos sin un centavo, con hambre, siempre al borde de la muerte. Una fauna terrible y apocalíptica. «Esta es la voz de los sin voz», dice el autor acerca de sus personajes. «Los que tienen que arañar la tierra cada día para buscar algo de comer, no tienen tiempo ni energía para nada más. Su objetivo único es sobrevivir. Como sea. De cualquier modo. Ni ellos mismos saben por qué ni para qué. Se empecinan en sobrevivir un día más. Sólo eso.» A pesar de todo, el amor, el sexo y la ternura marcan las vidas de estos seres atormentados. Tras su deslumbrante debut con Trilogía de La Habana, saludada por la crítica como una de las revelaciones más impactantes de la literatura latinoamericana reciente, con esta novela se confirmaron las muchas esperanzas dipositadas en Pedro Juan Gutiérrez.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, during an economic crisis termed its “special period in times of peace,” Cuba began to court the capitalist world for the first time since its 1959 revolution. With the U.S. dollar instated as domestic currency, the island seemed suddenly accessible to foreign consumers, and their interest in its culture boomed. Cuban Currency is the first book to address the effects on Cuban literature of the country’s spectacular opening to foreign markets that marked the end of the twentieth century. Based on interviews and archival research in Havana, Esther Whitfield argues that writers have both challenged and profited from new transnational markets for their work, with far-reaching literary and ideological implications. Whitfield examines money and cross-cultural economic relations as they are inscribed in Cuban fiction. Exploring the work of Zo Valds, Pedro Juan Gutirrez, Antonio Jos Ponte and others, she draws out writers’ engagements with the troublesome commodification of Cuban identity. Confronting the tourist and publishing industries’ roles in the transformation of the Cuban revolution into commercial capital, Whitfield identifies a body of fiction peculiarly attuned to the material and political challenges of the “special period.” Esther Whitfield is assistant professor of comparative literature at Brown University.

"In the wake of the Buena Vista Social Club, the world has rediscovered the rich musical tradition of Cuba. A unique combination of popular and elite influences, the music of this island nation has fascinated since the golden age of the son - that new World aural collision of Africa and Europe that made Cuban music the rage in Paris, New York, and Mexico beginning in the 1920s." "Drawing on such primary documents as obscure church circulars, dog-eared musical scores pulled from attics, and the records of the Spanish colonial authorities, Music in Cuba sweeps from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Carpentier covers European-style elite Cuban music as well as the popular worlds of rural Spanish folk and Afro-Cuban urban music."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Under the Franco regime (1939-1976), films produced in Spain were of poor quality, promoted the regime’s agenda, or were heavily censored. After the dictator’s death, the Spanish film industry transitioned into a new era, one in which artists were able to more freely express themselves and tackle subjects that had been previously stifled. Today, films produced in Spain are among the most highly regarded in world cinema. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Spanish Films features nearly 300 entries on the written by a host of international scholars and film critics. Beginning with movies released after Franco’s death, this volume documents four decades of films, directors, actresses and actors of Spanish cinema. Offering a comprehensive survey of films, the entries address such topics as art, culture, society and politics. Each includes comprehensive production details and provides brief suggestions for further reading. Through its examination of the films of the post-Franco period, this volume offers readers valuable insights into Spanish history, politics, and culture. An indispensable guide to one of the great world cinemas, The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Spanish Films will be of interest to students, academics, and the general public alike.
