This novel edition stands out not only because it contains the letters that Pi?era sent to his companion and confidant Humberto Rodr?guez Tomeu between 1958 and 1976, most of which were unpublished until now, but also because of the lengthy introductory essay by Thomas F. Anderson. This text holds a revealing perspective of one of the most original and intriguing voices of Latin American literature of the 20th century. It clarifies important aspects of the intellectual and affective process lived by the Cuban author under the influence of cultural and police forces that eventually marginalised and silenced him. The editing, documenting and interpreting work in this text is essential.
