Abstract

The narrative work of the Cuban writer Severo Sarduy, seven novels produced in exile between 1963 and 1993, year of his death in Paris, is a subjective building process, where individual and national identity coincide around one question that is transversal to his whole work –not only to the narrative one–, the inquiry about Cuban identity or “Cuban-ness”. At the same time, the notion of exile, inside his neobaroque poetic, results as an aesthetic category type, from where its own identity narration is structured and reformulated from the otherness and subversion that expulsion experience boosted.
