Professor Gladys M. Varona-Lacey (Modern Languages & Literatures) presented a conference paper in Quito, Ecuador, on March 7th at the XXI Congreso Internacional de Literatura y Estudios Hispánicos. Her paper, “La herejía como liberación en Herejes de Leonardo Padura”, analyses how the novel’s characters obtain personal freedom by breaking the rules established by the art world, religion, and politics. Padura is considered to be Cuba's best known contemporary writer.
