Everglades
Jorge Enrique Lage
FICTION | 2020 | 236 pages
A Havana of the near future, or an alternate present. A hermit and sociopathic writer. A cadaver, an investigation. The “mystery of the closed room,” repurposed into a phantasmagorical “mystery of a closed colonial mansion.” An allegory? In Everglades, nothing is what it seems.
Psychiatry, politics, forensic science, noir, and horror all intertwine in the story of a detective who wades into a swamp of voices, visions, and delirium. Another cult novel.
Jorge Enrique Lage’s dystopia transports us to a Big Bang from which a Cuba emerges—one full of old slogans and new mafias, old loyalties and new alliances.
—Iván de la Nuez

“With the pretext of science fiction, Lage has taken Cuban literature in general to a point of incomparable originality.”
“Jorge Enrique Lage has become one of our best constructors of fragments.”
