Her story of lost love and the difficult pursuit of literature is at the same time an X-ray of life in Havana, set in a present where glimpses of the future have not yet arrived."--Leonardo Padura, author of The Man Who Loved Dogs and the Mario Conde novels of Havana In contemporary Havana, "Do I stay or do I go?" is always the question, and love doesn't necessarily conquer all. A cautious, reserved professor of Spanish Literature, Marian has no idea that her quiet life is about to be turned upside down. When she's asked to review the work of a young, ambitious first-time novelist, she meets Daniel, and their love affair leads her to question both the choices she's made so far in her life and the opportunities she might yet still have. Theirs is the story of an intense and impossible love, set in today's Havana, a city where there can be no plans, where chance is the order of the day and a fierce sense of loyalty and pride coexists with the desire to live beyond the island's isolation."The fresh panorama of Cuban society today is painted without taboos or constraints, with a faith in human possibilities, and above all with a courage that stems from what is most legitimate and durable in ourselves."--Nancy Morejon, author of Looking Within: Selected Poems and Piedra Pulida "A Corner of the World is about desires and dreams, and, of course, about love."--Achy Obejas, author of Days of Awe and Ruins "Like the best of Truman Capote, another master of the short novel, Mylene Fernandez gives us a cast of unforgettable characters: contradictory, complex, and human."--Fernando Perez, director of Suite Habana, Life Is to Whistle, and Madagascar "To read this book is to encounter one of the best and most intimate works of Cuban literature of the 21st century."--Mabel Cuesta, author of Cuba post-sovietica: un cuerpo narrado en clave de mujer "A sad, erotic, tender, and sometimes ironic tale of passion and desertion.the city becomes a co-protagonist, a confidante, a point of departure and return, and of waiting."-Senel Paz, novelist and screenwriter of Strawberry and Chocolate, Things I Left in Havana, and In the Sky with Diamonds.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Aflame with desire, the eye conjures, dreams, invents itself, sees what it wants. The eye sees what it is able to see.Ojo en celo / Eye in Heat brings into sharp relief the limits of our gaze. It shows us what it is to escape the mirror and move beyond mirages. Margarita Pintado Burgos invites us to ponder the impasse while showing us ways to see better, to break the habit of lying, and to confront images along with language. With devastating clarity, Pintado Burgoss poems, presented in both Spanish and English, give voice to the world within and beyond sight: the plants, the trees, the birds, the ocean waves, the fruit forgotten in the kitchen, the houses furniture. Light takes on new dimensions to expose, manipulate, destroy, and nourish. Alejandra Quintana Arochos sensitive English translation renders the stark force of these poems without smoothing over the language of the original. This collection is for anyone who has felt the weight of beauty that remains hidden. It is for those who have left behind a mother, a father, a country. It is for those who know that there is no way out of the poem, for those who have had to live off a house of words and need that house to be as real as possible. Pintado Burgos writes as a woman, exile, daughter, sister, lover, and artist empowered by the restorative potential of the creative phenomenon. With devastating clarity, Margarita Pintado Burgoss poems, presented in both Spanish and English, give voice to the world within and beyond sight: the plants, the trees, the birds, the ocean waves, the fruit forgotten in the kitchen, the houses furniture. Light takes on new dimensions to expose, manipulate, destroy, and nourish. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
