Overview

Inscrita en la tradición de la obra de Joan Didion, V.S. Naipaul y Ryszard Kapuscinski, La Habana en un espejo aborda un tema político y social a través de la crónica, género por el que Alma Guillermoprieto, premiada en varias ocasiones, ha pasado a formar parte de los mejores escritores que tratan de cerca la situación actual de América Latina.

Premio Princesa de Asturias de Comunicación y Humanidades 2018

En La Habana en un espejo Alma Guillermoprieto reconstruye una de las épocas más difíciles de su vida; formada en las mejores escuelas de baile de Nueva York, a los veinte años viaja a La Habana para impartir clases en la Escuela Nacional de Danza. La confrontación con el régimen castrista y el idealismo del pueblo cubano sacuden la conciencia política de la narradora, todo ello en una época en la que la revolución parecía ser la única solución a muchos problemas.

La Habana en un espejo es la historia de la reivindicación de esta artista y una reflexión acerca de un régimen, y el resultado es un relato cargado de pasión y de ira en el que la autora consigue desmenuzar sus recuerdos con un pulso ágil y minucioso.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In 1970 a young dancer named Alma Guillermoprieto left New York to take a job teaching at Cuba’s National School of Dance. For six months, she worked in mirrorless studios (it was considered more revolutionary); her poorly trained but ardent students worked without them but dreamt of greatness. Yet in the midst of chronic shortages and revolutionary upheaval, Guillermoprieto found in Cuba a people whose sense of purpose touched her forever. 

In this electrifying memoir, Guillermoprieto–now an award-winning journalist and arguably one of our finest writers on Latin America– resurrects a time when dancers and revolutionaries seemed to occupy the same historical stage and even a floor exercise could be a profoundly political act. Exuberant and elegiac, tender and unsparing, Dancing with Cuba is a triumph of memory and feeling.
