Abstract

A literary analysis is presented for several short stories by Ana Menéndez from the collection "Adios, Happy Homeland!" including "You Are the Heirs of All My Terrors," "Journey Back to the Seed," and "Tlön." It examines how Menéndez uses references to Cuban literature to link stories into a continuous thread defined by creative anachronism and experimental techniques.
