«La nada cotidiana» is the novel by Zoé Valdés, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (162 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Patria, born the year of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution; she prefers to call herself Yocandra. Through her gaze it portrays the disillusionment of a generation that grew up believing in the promised paradise and ended up in scarcity and apathy. Writing becomes for her a way of rebelling against that everyday nothingness.
The novel was originally published in 1995, and this Spanish-language edition appeared in 1997.
