Cuba is a country in the midst of change. The death of Fidel Castro in 2016 and the subsequent rise to power of his brother, Raul, has ushered in a new era of uncertainty and transformation.

Despite the challenges, Cuba remains a country with a rich culture and a vibrant literary scene. The following 12 writers have all written extensively about their country, both in the past and present. Their work offers a unique perspective on the changes that are taking place in Cuba, and the ways in which the country's people are coping with these changes.
