VILLA MISERIA Un libro de Sergio Giral

Villa Miseria es algo más que una pensión para cineastas y artistas bohemios en el barrio habanero del Vedado. En ella -y en los personajes que por ella transitan- el autor ve la metáfora de la erosión y el deterioro de una nación entera bajo la dictadura de Fidel Castro. Unos vegetan, otros mueren y algunos afortunados escapan a su inevitable derrumbe, pero sus quebradas estructuras y cimientos sobreviven contra viento y marea, desafiando cualquier pronóstico.
