\"Impossible<\/a>Spring\u00a02016: <\/strong>On\u00a0April 6th,\u00a0<\/strong>Professor Iraida Lopez presented her new book\u00a0Impossible Returns: Narratives of the Cuban \"Iraida<\/a>Diaspora,<\/em>\u00a0followed by a Q&A.\u00a0<\/em>In this one-of-a-kind volume,\u00a0Iraida L\u00f3pez explores various narratives of return by those who left Cuba as children or adolescents.\u00a0 Including memoirs, semi-autobiographical fiction, and visual arts, many of these accounts feature a physical arrival on the island while others depict a metaphorical or vicarious experience by means of fictional characters or childhood reminiscences. As two-way migration increases in the post-Cold War period, many of these narratives put to the test the boundaries of national identity. Professor Lopez also presented her book at The <\/a>New School in New York City on Wednesday, April 20th.<\/a><\/p>\n

A\u00a0journalist, foreign correspondent, short story writer and poet, Mar\u00eda Elena Llana began her career in writing with the beginning of the Cuban Revolution and continues to produce today.\u00a0 Llana published her first collection of short stories in 1965.\u00a0 She continued writing during the seventies, but more for herself rather than for publication, as the state favored socialist realist literature over the magical or fantastic during those years.<\/p>\n

Llana’s work includes the collections Casas del Vedado<\/em> (1983, Premio de lat Cr\u00edtica), Castillos de naipes<\/em> (1999), Ronda en el malec\u00f3n<\/em> and Apenas murmullos<\/em> (2005), and En el limbo <\/em>(2009). All of Llana’s most critically successful stories have women protagonists at the center of the convergence of narrative times within a limited space—an address in Havana—offering an interesting portrait of the construction of female subjectivity throughout the last fifty years.<\/p>\n
