Fall 2015:听Cuban writer, Mar铆a Elena Llana, will present in the Hispanic Caribbean Literature class on Monday, October 26th.Mar铆a Elena Llana Poster-page-002

A听journalist, foreign correspondent, short story writer and poet, Mar铆a Elena Llana began her career in writing with the beginning of the Cuban Revolution and continues to produce today.听 Llana published her first collection of short stories in 1965.听 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.

Llana’s work includes the collections Casas del Vedado (1983, Premio de lat Cr铆tica), Castillos de naipes (1999), Ronda en el malec贸n and Apenas murmullos (2005), and En el limbo (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.
