Description:

Contemporary Fiction by Cuban Women Foreword by Ruth Behar This U.S. version of a groundbreaking 1996 Cuban anthology unites sixteen stories into an impressive collection that reveals the exciting strength and variety of fiction by contemporary Cuban women. "Reading these Cuban women writers . . . we too feel esa esencia Cubana that can't be translated into English or Spanish but is a place in the imagination we reach in the work of the best storytellers." -Julia Alvarez, author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents
