Una rapsodia al acto de fumar y una crónica erudita sobre la relación entre el puro y el cine, con el característico humor de Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Según Guillermo Cabrera Infante, « Puro humo es varios libros a la vez: una historia del tabaco que empieza con su descubrimiento en 1492 por un marino de la nao capitana, Rodrigo de Jerez [...], una celebración del tabaco y del fumar esa hoja extraña, y una rapsodia en que intervienen el cigarrillo y la pipa. Pero es más que nada una crónica erudita de la relación entre el puro y el cine». Cabe añadir que se trata de uno de los mejores ejemplos de la versatilidad de Cabrera Infante, que publicó el libro originalmente en 1985 en inglés después de pasar media vida en Londres, donde utilizaba ese idioma como guionista, articulista y crítico literario. Pospuesta un tiempo, la versión española acabó siendo, no una traducción al uso, sino una reescritura en toda regla que conserva la inventiva y frescura del original. La crítica ha dicho: «Guillermo Cabrera Infante era un grandísimo escritor.» Mario Vargas Llosa «Uno de los mayores y mejores renovadores de la prosa en castellano, un clásico de vanguardia.» Fernando Savater «Su talento verbal era extraordinario, tanto de viva voz como por escrito, aunque esto último lo sepa cualquiera que haya leído sus libros.» Javier Marías «Cabrera Infante trajo al sector desarraigado a la fuerza de Cuba las virtudes de la parodia, la sátira y el humor.» José Miguel Oviedo, Letras Libres

Even as he exposes the cultural fragmentation of Spanish America, Diaz's critical gesture allows strangeness to become an integral part not only of individuals, as Freud argues in "The Uncanny," but also of national cultural communities."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in English for the first time, a collection of deeply humane stories depicting marginalized populations by one of the greatest South American writers of the 20th century. The Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro is one of the masters of the short story and a major contributor to the great flourishing of Latin American literature that followed the Second World War. In a letter to an editor, Ribeyro said about his stories, “in most of [them] those who are deprived of words in life find expression—the marginalized, the forgotten, those condemned to an existence without harmony and without voice. I have restored to them the breath they’ve been denied, and I’ve allowed them to modulate their own longings, outbursts, and distress.” This is work of deep humanity, imbued with a disorienting lyricism that is Ribeyro’s alone. The Word of the Speechless, edited and translated by Katherine Silver, introduces readers to an indispensable and unforgettable voice of Latin American fiction.

'Before it becomes a political, social, or even linguistic issue, bilingualism is a private affair, intimate theater'. So writes Firmat in this ground-breaking study of the interweaving of life and languages in a group of bilingual Spanish, Spanish-American and Latino writers. Unravelling the 'tongue ties' of such diverse figures as the American philosopher George Santayana, the emigré Spanish poet Pedro Salinas, Spanish American novelists Guillermo Cabrera Infante and María Luisa Bombal, and Latino memoirists Richard Rodriguez and Sandra Cisneros, Firmat argues that their careers are shaped by a linguistic family romance that involves negotiating between the competing claims and attractions of Spanish and English.
