«Mea Cuba» is the political and literary essay by Guillermo Cabrera Infante, published by Alfaguara in paperback (496 pages, in Spanish).
Articles and essays in which Cabrera Infante reviews with irony Cuban politics and his literary life. Persecuted writers appear, such as Heberto Padilla and Reinaldo Arenas, and those who stayed on the island, like Lezama Lima and Carpentier. With black humor, the book describes the repression, censorship and propaganda of Fidel Castro's dictatorship.
Originally published by Plaza & Janés in 1992, Mea Cuba reappeared in 1999 in the Alfaguara edition, corrected and enlarged with a dozen later articles.
For readers interested in political essays, Cuban history and literary criticism.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante was a Cuban novelist, essayist, translator, screenwriter, and critic; in the 1950s he used the pseudonym G. Caín, and used Guillermo Cain for the screenplay of the cult classic film Vanishing Point (1971).
