En 1980, un inexperto Leonardo Padura ingresaba a la redacción de El caimán Barbudo, publicación de los jóvenes creadores cubanos financiada por el Estado. Junto a un grupo de colegas insinuaron una renovación, que tres años después motivó la expulsión de estos inquietos "intelectualoides". El destino de Padura fue el periódico Juventud Rebelde, donde debería encauzarse ideológicamente. Pero un mecanismo no previsto arruinó la lógica reeducadora y la experimentación narrativa volvió a plantearse, surgiendo así una de las mejores muestras de Periodismo Literario. Las crónicas que presentamos en El viaje más largo fueron escritas por Leonardo Padura en aquella etapa de inquietud intelectual.

Padura intenta una exploración novedosa en los pliegues de la cultura nacional, a contrapelo de los cánones propuestos por la historia oficial de la Revolución c...
