Trade Review
Jacqueline Loss has taken on the job of gathering, comparing, analyzing, and finally displaying that irregular though inevitable trace on the island map that still keeps the dreams and nightmares of several generations: we, the children and siblings of the muñequitos røsos [Soviet cartoons that Cuban children grew up on; literally, Russian dolls] feel a profound gratitude. * Review:Literature and Art of the Americas *
