Enrique del Risco is a Cuban writer and professor at NYU. He began his academic career in Cuba, but the constant surveillance and censorship forced him to leave the island in the 1990s. Since then, he has continued to denounce the dictatorship and has published several books detailing life under the island’s totalitarian regime, including “Our Hunger in Havana,” in which he recounts life in Cuba during the “Special Period,” and “The Comrade Who Looks After Me,” a book in which 50 Cuban writers discuss their relationship with the political police.
