Sobre IBD

¿Quién mató a Virgilio Piñera, padre del teatro moderno cubano? ¿Un simple ataque cardiaco o la Seguridad del Estado? ¿O fueron la indeferencia y la complicidad de sus colegas aterrorizados? En Pájaro de Cuenta, el autor ofrece una versión alterna de los penúltimos días de Piñera -o alguien que se llama como él-, en que la ficción se mezcla con la realidad -y muchas veces la suplanta- para arrojar nueva luz sobre el llamado Quinquenio Gris, uno de los períodos más siniestros de la vida cubana bajo el régimen de Fidel Castro.
