TAMAYO FERNANDEZ, Caridad. To Survey a Country: Cuban Literature in the XXIst Century. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.2, pp.20-48. ISSN 1852-9615.

This article runs through some of the major literary works in prose and poetry published during the past few decades in Cuba, both from recognized authors and from younger writers under forty years old. In regards to the latter group, this article essentially comments on their storybooks and conducts a detailed study of their chosen themes, narrative style, and literary resources to develop an overall characterization of this specific cohort. This analysis seeks to demonstrate the pronounced interest in understanding the periods of Cuban history that shaped the lives of these authors, be they the first years of the Revolution, the Nineties"which led to many shifts" or contemporary history. Keeping in mind the sociocultural frame in which they were published, the examination of these various texts provides an updated view of the main debates and challenges facing the cultural sphere in Cuba today.

Palabras clave : New Cuban narrators; Cuban literature; XXI century.
