«Café Nostalgia» is the novel by Cuban writer Zoé Valdés, published by Planeta in paperback (361 pages, in Spanish).
Marcela has achieved success, but the demands of fame weigh on her. With friends scattered around the world, she guards everyone's memory and the nostalgia of a fading time; her recollections, however, conceal a crime. The narrative addresses exile, identity and nostalgia between the Cuba of blackouts and the Parisian stages.
Originally published in 1997, this edition dates from 2001 and belongs to the Booket Logista collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction in Spanish interested in exile, identity and memory, with the Cuban context as a backdrop.
