✦ Synopsis

Rock �n� roll, zombies, drugs � anomie and angst � do not generally figure in our mental images of a country that�s assumed an outsized place in the American imagination. But fresh from the tropics, in Cuba in Splinters � a sparkling package of stories we�re assured are fictional � that�s exactly what you�ll find. Eleven writers largely unknown outside Cuba depict a world that veers from a hyperreal Havana in decay, against a backdrop of oblivious drug-toting German tourists, to a fantasy land � or is it? � where vigilant Cubans bar the door to zombies masquerading as health inspectors. Sex and knife-fights, stutterers and addicts, losers and lost literary classics: welcome to a raw and genuine island universe closed to casual visitors.
