Alguien tiene que llorar otra vez
This is a work that, without complexes or affectation, approaches the prickly, multifaceted, grim and authentic reality of women in Cuba with all their casuistries and possibilities. No added sweeteners. In spite of an incredibly Cuban narrative, the reading experience is universal and perfect for any lover of sharp, intelligent books. Closely connected to the cosmos and nature, but also competing to access the areas of reason, to reconcile her persistent search for the ideal man with her condition as a female writer in an insidiously (and sometimes blatantly) sexist environment, Bobes showcases a range of styles in the stories of 'Alguien tiene que llorar otra vez': anecdotes, monologues, travel memoirs, photos that come alive, extracts from novels... always built with a deep female gaze. Woman is at the epicentre of this truly magnificent book.
