Reviews

"""Marta Hernandez Salvan tackles head on the complex nature of philosophical tendencies within the poetics of Cuban cultural production in the last few decades to offer magnificent and precise readings of lesser-known writings and films, as well as profound renderings of canonical texts. This is a remarkably rich book that will take multiple readings to give it justice."" - Jacqueline Loss, author of Dreaming in Russian: The Cuban Soviet Imaginary"
