Description: "Cubanisimo! is the first book to gather Cuban stories, essays, poems, and novel excerpts in a single volume that summarizes the richness and depth of a great national literature. From the turn of the century to the present, from Havana to Miami, New York, Mexico City, Madrid, and beyond, the spirit and diversity of Cuban culture converge in one vibrant literary jam session. A brilliant introduction for readers who want to explore Cuban literature, as well as a collectible volume for those who love Cuba, Cubanisimo! is a celebration of Cuban culture from the island to its farthest-flung voices."--Jacket.
