Synopsis "Cocuyo (in Spanish)"

¨Quin es Cocuyo y qu ha venido a hacer a este mundo?

Cocuyo es este ni¤o, apenas proyecto de hombre, que recorre ensolitario las atestadas calles de La Habana -irremediablemente solo-,mientras va descubriendo el mundo adulto, un universo pleno decontrastes: la belleza de una tez p lida, la protecci¢n de unos brazos maternos, pero tambin, la sordidez de una caricia de meretriz y lacrueldad de unos seres siniestros? Un personaje que enamora al lectorpor su absoluta humanidad e imperfecci¢n.

La mentede Cocuyo se ensanchar a medida que la vida se abra paso a travs dela experiencia, dulce a veces, dolorosamente real otras.

Una historia portentosa, escrita con un vocabulario exuberante,rebosante de colores, sabores y texturas, con constantes apelaciones a los sentidos. Se trata de una novela para ser le¡da ®con todo elcuerpo¯, ya que nos hallamos ante el universo de Severo Sarduy, ununiverso desbaratado, barroco y cargado de iron¡a.

Cocuyo es, en definitiva, un vigoroso retrato del pobre yrid¡culo ser humano.

Severo Sarduy (Camagüey, Cuba, 1937 – Paris, France, 1993) was a Cuban writer, poet, and essayist, noted for his neobaroque style and experimental approach to literature. In 1960, he moved to Paris, where he joined the Tel Quel group and worked as an editor at Éditions du Seuil. His work addresses themes such as identity, sexuality, and Cuban culture, blending elements of Spanish baroque with Oriental and African influences.

Among his most recognized works are the novels Gestos (1963), De donde son los cantantes (1967), Cobra (1972), which received the Médicis Prize, Maitreya (1978), Colibrí (1984), Cocuyo (1990), and Pájaros de la playa (1993). He also published essays like Escrito sobre un cuerpo (1969) and Barroco (1974), and poetry collections such as Flamenco (1970) and Mood Indigo (1971). His literary legacy continues to be studied for its stylistic innovation and exploration of cultural and sexual identity.
