Este autor pasó a ser parte de mis favoritos desde que me encontré, por casualidad, en la reducida selección de libros en castellano de Barnes & Noble su otra novela "Las sabias mujeres de La Habana". Para mí es un autor favorito, como dije, porque sus historias son la añoranza y el rescate de un tiempo y un espacio que han pasado a ser míticos para quienes lo vivieron y para lo que no desde la distancia.
