Description
To most outsiders, Havana is a tropical wreckage of sin, sex and noise, a parallel world familiar but exotic - and embargoed enough to serve as a release valve for whatever pulse has been repressed or denied. Features brand new stories by: Leonardo Padura, Pablo Medina, Alex Abella, Miguel Mejides, Ena Lucia Portela, Mylene Fernandez Pintado, Carolina Garcia-Aguilera, Moises Asis, Arturo Arango, Mariela Varona Roque, Michel Encinosa Fu, Yoss, Lea Aschkenas, Achy Obejas, Mabel Cuesta, Arnaldo Correa, Oscar F. Ortiz and Yohamna Depestre.
