The book’s synopsis, published by Letras Cubanas, describes the protagonists’ adventures in Moscow as unfolding “within a coherent interweaving of themes, amidst Orthodox churches and the aromas of sauerkraut and carnations.”

“These souls follow their destinies embodied in a human being, and drift like futile spirits haunted by the constant search for the identity lost in their distant Cuba, where secret passions germinate, passions that are, ultimately, the true reasons for their existence,” the editorial note states.

The presentation of Anima fatua (2007) will take place at 11:00 a.m. local time on Calle de Madera, located on one side of Plaza de Armas, in front of the City Museum, in Old Havana.
