Un cl sico. Uno de los pocos libros que cuentan (bien) c mo fue aplastada una generaci n por el despotismo castrista y c mo una vida de vejaciones, privaciones y patrioter as baratas lo nico que engendraron en Cuba fue el deseo de huir o suicidarse. La traves a secreta, de Carlos Victoria, un d a ocupar , sin dudas, el lugar que le corresponde en eso que los cuban logos llaman el canon literario (y pol tico) de la isla. Carlos A. Aguilera Entender La traves a secreta como autoficci n me permiti acceder a un texto que se recrea como receptor e interlocutor de un momento hist rico, pero m s a n, como historia cultural e intelectual a trav s de las fabulaciones del yo.

Author Biography
Carlos Victoria nació en Camagüey, Cuba, en 1950 y se suicidó en Miami, Estados Unidos, en 2007, mientras luchaba contra una repentina enfermedad. En 1965 ganó el premio de cuentos auspiciado por la fundación de la revista El Caimán Barbudo. En 1971 fue expulsado de la Universidad de La Habana, donde estudiaba Lengua y Literatura Inglesas, por diversionismo ideológico. En 1978 fue arrestado por la Seguridad del Estado cubana y todos sus manuscritos fueron confiscados. En 1980 abandonó la isla durante el llamado Éxodo del Mariel, y desde entonces sus narraciones aparecieron en revistas y antologías de Estados Unidos, Europa y América Latina. Publicó los libros de relatos Las sombras en la playa (1992), El resbaloso y otros cuentos (1997), El salón del ciego (2004) y las novelas Puente en la oscuridad (Premio Letras de Oro, 1993), La travesía secreta (1994) y La ruta del mago (1997). La travesía secreta fue seleccionada como la mejor novela del mes de noviembre de 2001 en Francia, por el jurado del Premio al Mejor Libro Extranjero. En 2004, la Asociación Cultural Con Cuba en la Distancia le dedicó un homenaje en Cádiz, España, por la calidad de su obra y por su contribución al desarrollo de la literatura cubana. Durante dicho homenaje la editorial Aduana Vieja presentó Cuentos (1992-2004), antología revisada por el propio autor y que reunía sus relatos hasta esa fecha. Victoria trabajó como redactor en el periódico El Nuevo Herald, en Miami y fue galardonado con la prestigiosa Beca Cintas.
