  • Introducing Leonardo Acosta, Music and Literary Critic
    Vol. 5, No. 3, Spring 2008, 95-121 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Introducing Leonardo Acosta, Music and Literary Critic Raúl A. Fernández University of California—Irvine Daniel Whitesell Irvine Valley College The recent awards bestowed on Leonardo Acosta, in particular Cuba’s Premio Nacional de Literatura (2006), come as no surprise to the authors of this article who have long been aware of the breadth and depth of Acosta’s essays on music and literature. To many, however, Acosta’s writing career has remained largely invisible. In part this is because Acosta’s major essays began to appear in the early 1980s when he was nearly fifty years old, a time by which most professional writers have established their careers; in part, because he had labored rather independently of any official Cuban institutions. As Acosta noted in his acceptance speech for the Premio Nacional de Literatura he had not been identified as “associated with any literary ‘group,’ or ‘revista,’ or ‘generation,’ or ‘cohort’. Neither had [he] participated in any aesthetic or ideological polemic affecting arts and letters…” His ‘invisibility” may also be in part because his writing has consisted primarily of ensayos, a genre Fernández 96 that attracts less attention from literary critics than poetry or prose narrative. Another contributing factor has been the diversity of the intellectual field Acosta defined for himself—he began as a professional musician, became a journalist, poet and short story writer for a decade, and then became a writer on music and literature. This career trajectory makes it difficult for any other single author to evaluate Acosta’s work as a whole.
