Fuera (y dentro) del juego

Abel Enrique Prieto, Jaime Gómez Triana

The Casa de las Américas was at the center of the hurricane unleashed around the arrest, on March 20, 1971, of the poet Heberto Padilla and his "self-criticism", carried out after being released from prison on April 27, at the Uneac headquarters , before an audience of writers who are members of the organization. In that year, multiple articles, statements, responses and counter-responses on the "case" were published in successive issues of the institution's magazine. Fifty years after those events, we published an extensive compilation of materials that seek to offer little-known assessments and points of view that totally or partially contradict some of the stereotypes that have circulated and continue to circulate about the so-called "Padilla case."-back cover.
