Pablo Medina describes “The Cuban Comedy” as a love story. “It’s about poetry and poets and how they make their way in the world. It’s about revolution, war and an homage to dissidents.” On this episode of “The Literary Life,” Medina shares how how he created his characters, with Elena as the heroine, each based on composites, and how exile, oppression and poetry play a role in their way to possible salvation. Medina started writing his novel, 14 years ago. This episode of The Literary Life with Mitchell Kaplan was recorded at Books & Books in Coral Gables, Florida.
