How does Reinaldo Arenas's literary disobedience continue to be a model for present-day confrontations? How did Dulce María Loynaz come to inhabit her own fictions? What was the fate of that minor character in a Flaubert short story, who disappeared in Havana? \u003cem\u003eLengua materna\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of narrative essays on national literature where the terms nation, literature, and essay are explored through the forms of fiction.
