In Search of Emma : How We Created Our Family

This anthology of stories includes an in-depth analysis, in a respectful tone, of the poorer districts on the island of Cuba. It does so with particular attention to the different characters that populate the streets, the majority of whom are equipped with pompous nicknames. They live in a different strata, one that includes crime, delinquency, companionship, love, and betrayal. Rodrigo de la Luz has perfectly captured the nuances of these difficult lives and has dressed this book in literary style not without humor, which urges us to take a minute to understand what life is like inside these neighborhoods.
