Review

Una pequeña joya de la literatura cubana
Félix Luis Viera

Un retrato del llamado Período Especial en Cuba, a través de las peripecias de una familia para sobrevivir. Alberto, su esposa Miriam, la pequeña Elizabeth, hija de la pareja y un cerdo que crece y alimentan en la bañadera de la casa, diseñan la marcha de una narración lineal, sin sobresaltos, aunque sí angustiosa, en la que prima el diálogo crudo, el desamparo y el desánimo, por sobre las descripciones.

La atmósfera del libro es delirante, la narración atrapa al lector que busca saber el desenlace, que como la lógica indica, debe ser el sacrificio del marrano. El autor recrea muy bien cómo el impacto de las necesidades materiales hace mella en las relaciones de familia. En otros episodios, Alberto, que es profesor, es asediado por un estudiante, que se resiente del fracaso del socialismo. Sin embargo llama la atención que los personajes que conducen la narración no se preguntan por qué tienen que vivir de esa manera. No hay culpables, no hay reclamos, apenas asumen lo que les ha tocado confrontar y sólo aspiran a que mañana no sea como hoy.

De Mañana es Navidad: "Hacía tiempo que venía haciendo cosas en contra de su voluntad. En contra de su voluntad iba en bicicleta a la escuela. En contra de su voluntad pagaba cincuenta centavos por aquel almuerzo escolar de arroz con cuatro granos de frijoles nadando en un agua casi transparente. En contra de su voluntad estaba criando un puerco en el baño de su apartamento, cuya peste se cogía todas las habitaciones. Le parecía encontrar la peste a puerco en todas partes, y solía olerse las manos y los brazos. El pueblo entero estaba lleno de puercos y olía a cochiquera, a sancocho, a comida fermentada y a desperdicios... Aunque él se estaba quejando demasiado. ¿Todo el mundo no estaba en la misma situación? ¿No se había hecho un llamado a resistir?"
