Event Description
Internationally acclaimed author Roberto Fernandez will discuss the complexities of writing as a Cuban-American.
Described as a "Cuban William Burroughs" for the fantastic and
surrealistic qualities of much of his fiction, Roberto Fernández is one
of the most respected authors of our time, with works that have been
published in the USA, Europe, Latin America, and Cuba. His stories are
particularly noted for the “collision of languages and temperaments”
that are distinctive to the immigrant experience.
Fernández is currently a teacher in the Department of Modern Languages
and Linguistics at Florida State University. His works include: La vida es un special (1982), La montaña rusa (1985), Raining Backwards (1988), Holy Radishes! (1995), En la ocho y la doce (2001). In 2001, Dr. Fernández was named the Dorothy Lois Breen Hoffman Professor of Modern Languages and Linguistics.
The Roberto Fernández presentations promise to be engaging and
informative, offering a wonderful opportunity to better understand the
inspired works from this internationally acclaimed author.
