Belascoaín y Neptuno | Notas sobre Cuba, literatura y otras dolencias crónicas
Description: Notes on Cuba, literature and other chronic pains
Last year, my friend Juan Milà, Editorial Director at Harper Via , called to ask me if I’d be interested in translating the speech I Have a Dream , by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. At first, I thought I had misheard him. I couldn’t believe this monumental pillar of the Civil Rights movement hadn’t been published in book form in Spanish. I said yes immediately…
And now the book is out!
It has been my greatest honor to bring this timely and timeless speech into my native language. I also had the privilege of translating a moving prologue, written for this edition, by Amanda Gorman. In translating both texts, I benefited from wonderful suggestions from my editor (and now dear friend) Ariana Rosado Fernández, as well as from my dear Juan Milà.
