«Café Nostalgia» is the contemporary fiction novel by Zoé Valdés, published by Planeta in paperback (361 pages, in Spanish).
Café Nostalgia interweaves the routine of teenagers in a Cuba of blackouts and abortions with the nostalgia of exile, political denunciations, erotic scenes and a love story. The narrative alternates wordplay and everyday dialogue, and contrasts the Cuban world with Parisian settings and a cosmopolitan aspiration.
Cuban writer Zoé Valdés published the novel in 1999, within Planeta's Autores Españoles e Hispanoamericanos collection.
A work that connects especially with the Cuban diaspora and with readers of contemporary fiction in Spanish.
