Space in Cuba will celebrate the literary work of Luis Rogelio Noguer

Havana, Jun 6 (Prensa Latina) The regular Saturday Book Fair features a discussion today on Calle de Madera in Havana's Historic Center about the book "And If I Die Tomorrow," by Cuban writer Luis Rogelio Nogueras (1944-1985).

Published by Ediciones Loynaz, the crime novel delves into the psychological, ideological, philosophical, and social considerations of the era.

In this setting, the author tackles an interesting and necessary story, recounting Ricardo’s (Agent Bruno) capacity to transform himself in the face of his conviction to fulfill his duty, according to a statement from the Cuban Book Institute, the institution organizing the event.

With meticulous language, the writer weaves “a creative structure that skillfully fuses action and documentary elements with poetry in a truthful and moving expression of our reality,” adds the Cuban encyclopedia EcuRed.

Considered the most important poet of his generation, Luis Rogelio Nogueras left behind a literary oeuvre that includes a diverse collection of poems and articles.

For its poetic lyricism and linguistic contributions, *Y si muero mañana* (And If I Die Tomorrow) received the Cirilo Villaverde Prize, awarded by the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba.

Among his many accolades, Nogueras was awarded the Casa de las Américas Prize in 1981 for his poetry collection *Imitación de la vida* (Imitation of Life), “considered a first-rate contribution to the lyric poetry of our language, where the traditional themes of poetry from all eras are organically integrated.”
