Yocandra in the Paradise of Nada Dragons irrepressible Tigger

irrepressible Tigger

But nothing can prepare them for what happens when their comic-book character comes to life

Enter a mystical landscape peopled with archetypal characters and rich in myth and legend - the world of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table

in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past—a journey that can only be guided by one’s own conscience

Yocandra in the Paradise of Nada Dragons irrepressible TiggerYocandra, the first person narrator, was born (like Valdes herself) in Havana in 1959. Now a dispirited, outspoken woman living in Cuba, narrator writes of a reality of 'nothing' that contrasts poignantly with that of a gusana friend in Madrid with whom she exchanges letters. This colloquial, idiomatic translation of La nada cotidiana reflects work's humor and word play. Brief but helpful translator's notes.
