"Out of Havana arrives one of the most significant Hispanic American writers . . . Calvert Casey, nourished by the Western literary tradition, yet, obstinately, almost obsessively, 'local.' . . . With memories of Havana as a colony and of slavery, of the brothels and black witchcraft and uninterrupted sensuality in an uninterrupted dialogue with the dead, Casey . . . began to write far from Cuba out of nostalgia. It led him to return to Cuba and to submerge himself anew in the old city known rock by rock, ghost by ghost, ensuring never to be separated from her again."--Italo Calvino, written in 1966, reprinted in Quimera no. 26 (Dec. 1982)
