Abstract
In this chapter, the author, herself a product of exile from Cuba, and from the exile community in south Florida, embarks on a lyrical personal journey through the landscapes of memory and loss caused by displacement. The chapter meditates on the ways that dying in the host country confronts all generations of the Cuban diaspora with the terrible truth of what Wyndham calls “the culture of denial,” the narrative of temporariness by which Cuban exile has been constructed in south Florida.
