Story
Carlos Manuel Álvarez’s first novel is a masterful portrayal of a society in free fall. Diego, the son, is disillusioned and bitter about the limited freedoms his country offers him as he endures compulsory military service. Mariana, the mother, is unwell, prone to mysterious seizures, and forced to relinquish control over the household to her daughter, Maria, who has left school and is working as a chambermaid in a state-owned tourist hotel. The father, Armando, is a committed revolutionary, a die-hard Fidelista who is sickened by the corruption he perceives all around him.

Story
Los caídos narra la descomposición moral y el distanciamiento radical entre los miembros de una familia cubana que aún comparte el mismo hogar. La corrupción espiritual de un país inmerso en el hambre y la privación actúa como detonante, aquello que lleva al padre comunista, a la madre gravemente enferma, a la hija resignada y al hijo resentido a convertirse en enemigos irreconocibles, aunque ninguno de ellos entienda realmente cómo y por qué todo aquello ha sucedido.

Story
Los personajes de "Falsa guerra" son náufragos en tierra firme, varados en zona de nadie. Algunos quieren marcharse de Cuba y no pueden, otros se fueron y nunca acabaron de llegar del todo. Viven en una especie de limbo, en un impasse perpetuo entre la realidad y el deseo, entre el pasado y el futuro, entre el país de origen y el de destino, a la espera de una promesa, una confirmación o, simple y llanamente, una tregua. Algo que les siga recordando que la vida es posible.

Story
Teeming with life and compulsively listenable, the pieces gathered together in The Tribe aggregate into an extraordinary mosaic of Cuba today. Carlos Manuel Álvarez, one of the most exciting young writers in Latin America, employs the cronica form—a genre unique to Latin American writing that blends reportage, narrative nonfiction, and novelistic forms—to illuminate a particularly turbulent period in Cuban history, from the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with the US, to the death of Fidel Castro, to the convulsions of the San Isidro Movement.
