Her work often includes mystical, fantastic, mythical, pagan, Celtic, Judeo-Christian, Greek, gothic, and anthropological elements.<br /> <br /> Her SF works include:<br /> *''La poza del ángel'' (1994) - short stories.<br /> *''El druida'' (2000) - 5 novelettes.<br /> *''Malevolgia'' (2006) - Novel.<br /> <br /> Other works:<br /> <br /> *''La poética del signo como voluntad y repesentación'' A study on the narratives of Alberto Garrandés <br /> *''Historias celtas'' - Celtic stories<br /> *''La ciudad de los muertos'' - Stories with Cuban themes <br /> *''El reino de la noche'' - 6 linked stories about the lives of real and imaginary women including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Siddal Elizabeth Siddal],Muse of the preraphaelite painters, the Irish poet Liadam de Corkguiney, and the Cuban aristocrat [http://www.habanaradio.cu/modules/mysections/singlefile.php?lid=577 Catalina Lasa].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> <br /> Gina Picart Baluja (Ciudad de La Habana,15 de febrero de 1956)comenzó su carrera oficial como escritora en 1994, con la publicación de su opera prima ''La poza del ángel'', libro de relatos que obtuvo el premio David de ciencia ficción en 1990, siendo la última y segunda escritora cubana que obtuvo esa distinción, ganada por primera vez en 1980 por la también escritora cubana [[Daína Chaviano]] con su libro ''Los mundos que amo''.<br /> <br /> (''La poza del ángel'' obtuvo también los premios Pinos Nuevos 1993 y HabanaFicción 1998).En 2000 fue publicado su libro ''El druida'', compuesto por cinco noveletas de género ambiguo que hacen que la crítica deje de referirse a ella como a una autora de ciencia ficción para tratarla de &quot;inclasificable&quot; y &quot;auténtico islote&quot; dentro de la producción literaria cubana. Este libro despertó una polémica en los medios literarios habaneros y fue un record de ventas, agotándose tan rápidamente como el primero. En 2006 aparece ''Malevolgia,'' su primera novela, texto que vuelve a desconcertar a los críticos, incluso más que sus anteriores publicaciones. Esta autora, cuyos relatos han aparecido fundamentalmente en antologías de narativa femenina cubana, tiene escasa presencia en recopilaciones temáticas y generacionales, debido a su originalidad y a que, hasta el presente, no ha publicado nada que tenga que ver con la realidad actual de la historia de su país. Se le reconoce gran maestría en el dominio del lenguaje, la creación de atmósferas, la caracterización psicológica de sus personajes y la intensidad dramática de sus historias. También se la considera como posiblemente la única escritora en la isla que muestra interés por acercarse a los mitos y religiones de épocas pasadas. <br /> <br /> Picart ha manifestado reiteradamente en entrevistas y pesentaciones públicas que se siente muy atraía por la antropología,la arqueología,la historia antigua,los cultos paganos y en particular por el mundo celta. Maneja en sus obras elementos de la literatura fantástica, el neogótico, la investigación histórica, el esoterismo, la magia, un realismo crudo y descarnado y una profundidad poco usual del conflicto dramático. Se ha interesado también por la crítica literaria y el ensayo,que ejerce con una óptica tan personal y original como la que emplea en su literatura. <br /> <br /> Obtuvo el premio de ensayo Luis Rogelio Nogueras 2006 con su libro ''La poética del signo como voluntad y repesentación'', un estudio sobre la narrativa de su compañero generacional Alberto Garrandés, y este mismo año editará otros tres libros de relatos: ''Historias celtas'', ''La ciudad de los muertos'', cuentos de tema cubano, y ''El reino de la noche'', integrado por seis noveletas sobre las vidas de mujeres reales e imaginarias de diferentes épocas y lugares, entre ellas Elizabeth Siddal, la musa de los pintores prerrafaelitas, la poeta irlandesa Liadam de Corkaguiney y la célebre aristócrata cubana Catalina Lasa. Aunque niega ser una escritora feminista, no hay duda de que la mujer ocupa un lugar muy importante en su literatura. Es precisamente con ''Boleto'', la historia conmovedora y trágica de María Amor, una anciana ciega y alucinada, que logra quedar como finalista en los Premios el Tren 2004 de España.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Picart Baluja, Gina}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Writers]]<br /> [[Category:Cuban SF writers]]<br /> [[Category: Latin American SF]]<br /> [Category:Spanish-language writer]]<br /> [[Category:Living people]]<br /> [[Category:1956 births]]</div>

She has been equally successful as a writer of fantasy/SF and in mainstream literature, winning various awards in both fields. <br /> <br /> Her literary subjects cover mythology, eroticism, ancient history, sociology, politics and magic, all blend in a unique personal style portrayed in poetic and sensual images. <br /> <br /> Her most recent novels, belonging to the series «The Occult Side of Havana», are not exactly science fiction. But they display a good amount of magical, fantastic and science fiction elements, resulting in a variety of crossing genres. The four novels in this series are ''El hombre, la hembra y el hambre'' (Azorin Award for Best Novel, Spain, Planeta 1998), ''Casa de juegos'' (Planeta 1999), ''Gata encerrada'' (Planeta 2001), and ''La isla de los amores infinitos'' (Grijalbo 2006), whose publishing rigths have been sold to 19 languages.

<p>65.11.218.81: </p> <hr /> <div>Hi - Thanks for the great work. If you're Daína or a fan, can I ask why you are taking off the [[:Category:Year of birth missing]] category? It's a maintenance category we use until we are able to include the year of birth. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 20:31, 27 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> I am the person who created and keeps this author's Web site. I know from her agent that they don't want to show the author's year of birth. That is why it does not appear in any of her books. So this is an information that probably won't be available any time soon ;-))<br /> <br /> : Okay, good to know. Maybe you can note that on the Daína talk page so we don't include it until and if it is made public. I can make a new category [[:Category:Year of birth private]]. But can we at least specify 20th century births? It would help with automatic sorting when we ever get that going. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 22:35, 27 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> Well, I think your idea of creating a category for Year of Date Private will be useful in more than one case. I have noticed lately that many writers (both women and men) do not include their year of birth on their book covers. I guess we could add that she was born in the 20th century, although I think this is obvious after seeing the dates in which her books were published.<br /> <br /> : Okay, I created and added the private thing, and I'll do a 20th century births as well. ... btw, the [[:Category:Esp]] tag is a language tag. Eventually everything should be tagged by the languages that it's in, including [[:Category:Eng]] ... --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 19:35, 28 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> == creating a category ==<br /> <br /> Does that Esp &amp; En tag mean that you could have information of the same writer in English and Spanish?<br /> : We're just not sure how to handle multiple languages right now, so for now we take stuff in any language, and just try to tag it appropriately. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 20:16, 28 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> Another thing. I am trying to create a new category: Latin American SF writers. But even though I create the link at the end a page, and write a small introduction in that page, I can't find that category later among the list of Categories. Hoy can I include the new category in the list?<br /> : When you add a category to something, you just add &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Latin American SF writers]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;. If there is no preexisting category by that name, it will be a red link. You can think click on it, and you have to add appropriate categories to that category itself so that it will be embedded in the category tree. So for instance you would add &lt;nowiki&gt;[[Category:Writers]]&lt;/nowiki&gt; to that category. ... if you're doing all that already then it might be a caching thing. ... or it might be because you are using an IP address; IP addresses have fewer rights in the mediawiki software. You can create a userid -- it actually gives you somewhat more privacy, because you can use whatever userid you choose and then people can't backtrack your location off your IP address. <br /> : There are some basic pages about [[FSFwiki:Categorization]] where we (mostly me) have started setting out some basic criteria and category structures. It's all still draft-y for now but might give you some ideas and also of course feel free to weigh in on the talk page about categories. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 20:16, 28 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> Great! It works! <br /> But now I have a question. I was thinking that if I create this Latin American SF writers category, authors from Spain will be left out from that list. Writing &quot;Spanish American SF writers&quot; seems too complicated. Or not? In Spanish (my native language) I would simply say: &quot;CF hispanoamericana&quot;. If I write &quot;Spanish American SF&quot;, do you think it will be clear this category is refering to authors?Or do you think it will be better to have 2 categories: Spanish SF AND Latin American SF? <br /> The thing is that there are not many women authors in both regions. That is why I thought it would be better to comprise all these authors who write in Spanish under the same category.</div>

<p>65.11.218.81: creating a category</p> <hr /> <div>Hi - Thanks for the great work. If you're Daína or a fan, can I ask why you are taking off the [[:Category:Year of birth missing]] category? It's a maintenance category we use until we are able to include the year of birth. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 20:31, 27 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> I am the person who created and keeps this author's Web site. I know from her agent that they don't want to show the author's year of birth. That is why it does not appear in any of her books. So this is an information that probably won't be available any time soon ;-))<br /> <br /> : Okay, good to know. Maybe you can note that on the Daína talk page so we don't include it until and if it is made public. I can make a new category [[:Category:Year of birth private]]. But can we at least specify 20th century births? It would help with automatic sorting when we ever get that going. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 22:35, 27 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> Well, I think your idea of creating a category for Year of Date Private will be useful in more than one case. I have noticed lately that many writers (both women and men) do not include their year of birth on their book covers. I guess we could add that she was born in the 20th century, although I think this is obvious after seeing the dates in which her books were published.<br /> <br /> : Okay, I created and added the private thing, and I'll do a 20th century births as well. ... btw, the [[:Category:Esp]] tag is a language tag. Eventually everything should be tagged by the languages that it's in, including [[:Category:Eng]] ... --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 19:35, 28 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> == creating a category ==<br /> <br /> Does that Esp &amp; En tag mean that you could have information of the same writer in English and Spanish?<br /> <br /> Another thing. I am trying to create a new category: Latin American SF writers. But even though I create the link at the end a page, and write a small introduction in that page, I can't find that category later among the list of Categories. Hoy can I include the new category in the list?</div>

(FIRST 3O MINUTES OF THIS PANEL MISSING!!!) - panelists introduced themselves, discussed some writers, discussed Alejo Carpentier's 'the marvelous real', Walter Mosley's recent comments at the National Black Writers Conference @ Medgar Evers College on conservative readers, 'literature' vs. 'genre' snobbery, etc...<br /> <br /> <br /> SRT: <br /> * not enough translation in the US<br /> * editing 3rd volume of dark matter on Africa<br /> * let's put in this in perspective. places like Africa and India - HUGE. It's not like what it appears on the map. You spend two months in India and you've only seen three cities! Massive cultures and languages<br /> * have to find work. some of it is not in native languages but written in other languages; e.g., malagasy in madagascar, some written in german, french. story about james bond kind of saviour set in a pan-african future where economy is very different; some of this sf/f is not in english; in french. challenge of finding these works, getting them translated, and then seeing what they have to say about the world. 2 things going on - finding works in english, finding works in other languages. communications with other authors in other languages. conversations with contemporary writers and scholars who, once you explain what you mean by 'science fiction and fantasy,' may introduce you to their contemporaries and colleagues<br /> <br /> NH: translation is not word for word. look at me i'm a big black man; in french that translates to 'fat black man' which he was but the meaning is quite different.<br /> <br /> audience: problem in india, people don't want to write in english the language of colonizers, but they have 11 languages of their own. views?<br /> <br /> NNOM: complex thing. would it be better for them to write in english as opposed to their native tongue. it's a complex thing. i wish there was a language other than the language of their colonizer. <br /> <br /> AH: if that's a problem you can find a language - or again i think we need to become multilingual. not so readership can be all in one language - but we need to have more translators so that this problem is not so great. there are 11 languages, 11 different ways of seeing the world, that's bountiful, not a problem. wow we need to have communities without us all speaking the same language<br /> <br /> NNOM: but if they had all these 11 different people - if they had to do an anthology in one year what would they do.<br /> <br /> SRT: that's the thing, you don't do it in a year. if you really care, you give it the time it deserves, you honor it. that's the process.<br /> <br /> AH: find another language, the one you want, it doesn't have to be the language of the colonizer, it's what you pick and what you learn. in europe everybody speaks english. <br /> <br /> audience: india has a language -- sanskrit<br /> <br /> audience - it's labeled as fantasy if it's not judeo-christian belief system<br /> why is da vinci code not marketed as fantasy - it's fantasy. why not marketed that way<br /> <br /> nalo: some would disagree with you<br /> <br /> audience: late mack reynolds did a series of novels in which members of african diaspora doing development work for english/french excolonials told all their respective lords &amp; masters, drop dead; everybody use esperanto as the pan-african language; and developed a pan-african revolution. did five or six or eight - ? based on these premises. esperanto with its flaws is not the language of any of the former colonizers. didn't have political burdens that swahili had and so on.<br /> audience: fascinated with alejo carpentier's original meaning of 'the marvelous real' later mistranslated to 'magical realism.' as a non-academic my understanding of the term as used in western literature is i'm going to write a piece of fiction, stick a non-scientific miraculous event in it, explain it, and if it's explained it's fantasy or sf and if it's not explained it's magic realism, a miracle.<br /> *SRT: why do i have to explain it if it's part of the original culture, why should i have to turn around and have an 'as you know bob' when it's part of the culture?<br /> *aud: but to me that's fantasy<br /> *SRT: to me that's real<br /> <br /> audience: speaking of translation / africa. angelica gorodischer also on a panel and listed many writers. cosmos latinos - a lot of those writers she mentions are translated in that volume. <br /> <br /> SRT: translators are very organized - free-lancers waiting for work. i know one in san francisco alone who works w/ random house &amp; other places but he's looking for work. he's fluent in spanish, translates well-known writers. i had one international residency experience, only american there, what is the south african book that won the nobel prize a couple of years ago - john coetzee - i met his translator; he was excited because he got the news that his translation from dutch to english won; and the whole conversation was that there was so many people who have great work and would love to have their work translated, but it's not a reciprocity; and that's a specific publishing issue in the market that affects how we as readers get access to these works. <br /> <br /> AH- in the academy there are lots of people who love to do this but don't know of the work and then have to worry about whether it would look good on resume. <br /> <br /> audience: i'm hearing question that science fiction is valued - term third world - i question it - when i look at india i look for reasons why i see eleemnts in language et cand i know in my heart that's not full reason why they are living ... language when it changes, when people migrated and how far they moved before language changed, and what i learned from is language changes when there's something in common b/w those people that is not there with others. 11 languages - i hear that there are riches and wealth that i don't have access to. so still the question of science fiction what is it what does it mean and does it have a meaning in those languages and communities that have their own languages and meanings. magic realism is just a marketing niche term. so what does science fiction mean across the 12 languages of india in the communities where they're writing it b/c that's where it will have a value to others. so where is the piece common to us all that i will be motivated to absorb.<br /> <br /> jeanine - i came across magical realism before i knew the term - it didn't strike me as fantasatic - strikes me as a presumption for degree of rationalism - in all these stories of history, things that people don't offer explanation for like elves fairies etc b/c you're supposed to know what they are. readers are now expecting authors to write to their cultural lives instead of inviting readrs to step out of their experience into another. that's supposed to be at the heart of speculative fiction. <br /> <br /> nalo: third one and then - yes<br /> <br /> audience: try to keep it simple &amp; not convoluted b/c a lot of things evolved that i want to ask about. mainly that we're talking about dominant culture and first world and a lot of these things are euphemisms for one another and -- the way the northern hemisphere is being developed right now. and the way it isn't in southern hemisphere - aforegone conclusion taht southern hemisphere is going to fall apart. i don't see enough hope / imagination to that other than screaming enclaves of progressive people trying to think about things differently but when there's no money difficult to see how that could be. so i worry that survival of people fm anywhere in southern hemiphsere or poor folks in northern hemisphere becomes dependent on idea that only thru diaspora can survival happen and only shooting an arrow thru culture can connection e made and we're talking about translation &amp; what can be made available thru that or not. life or death ... existing diversity, b/c diversity keeps shifting and moving forward further. i want to know from all of you as you prepared for this panel &amp; this give &amp; take question of how can 3rd world writers impact sf and how can sf make a difference in 3rd world countries or members of people who consider themselves part of 3rd world cultures / countries / identities what do you guys think what is the role of sf in terms of social justice/action. is it that the literary community is for all its great things inherently, the deep stuff of racism is so thick that breaking past that - is it possible; if it were possible, how; what's the call to arms &amp; is there one.<br /> <br /> SRT: i'm going to be perfectly honest that i don't know what you just said but will try to answer two of the things I thought I heard from you. 1) what can sf or 'marvelous realism' do for the 3rd world. one it can contribute to our recordkeeping and help us understand the world better. not all 3rd world writers may be interested in that project. some don't want to educate you but some want to tell their own story. but it can enrich all of us, lift all our art &amp; understanding &amp; thinking about the world. 2) their work just contributes to the sense of wonder. i personally am bored w/ certain tropes. you can tell the same story 50 times and a new writer brings their essence to the story &amp; makes you feel it all differently. but it will contribute to the whole sense of wonder. why we are here and love science fiction it's not all just about social justice. people i know who read it are looking for that hit. they are contributing just we're not necessarily plugged into that process. they don't need our permission to create it. i'm not saying that's what you're saying that's what i wanted to get out there.<br /> <br /> AH: imagine agency. Silas Siakor. he's a liberian activist who works for rainforests helped to topple charles taylor - we can imagine agency from people we didn't imagine it from before. people having amazing experiences being full human beings. <br /> <br /> nnedi: problem of label of magical realism - it's a load of [crowd laughter] it's got to go. i don't believe magical realism is any different from fantasy, i don't. i've read plenty and they're all fantasy to me and i don'tn see anything wrong with it and it doesn't take anything away from authors. in terms of sales and marketing categories - but the problem w/ label of magical realism for me as writer &amp; my own experience is for epopele who aren't automatic readers of f/sf it turns us away from writing that. and when i started writing i was naturally inclined to writing things w/ weird things going on; it's just how iw as inclined. and my profs would veer me away from that; it's bad fiction to write things like fantasy &amp; sf so i ended up turning to magical realism and they were fine with that. <br /> <br /> AH: i'm sorry shoot those professors.<br /> <br /> nnedi: category is a problem in that area. eventually i ended up just saying 'f it' and writing fantasy . i eventually found and started reading f/sf and this is waht i want to do. but that label of magical realism at least w/ the african writers i know it keeps them from even thinking of writing fantasy &amp; science fiction b/c they know all the authors who write magical realism stuff and they're given lots of respect etc. and get residencies etc.<br /> <br /> audience cynthia - writing about experience of being colonized from perspective of the colonized people <br /> <br /> commentator - magical realism; it seems that what would make magical realism different from fantasy is that it's realism, pretty classic realism, but it employs elements that don't fit w/in ... a bunch of authors from czeck and former soviet union etc. who also have had similar elements - just bizarre w/ a bizarre sense of humor. one more thing, speaking of third world. i think it's a bit too simplistic to speak of it in terms of continents - b/c each state no matter where it ranges in economic scale of who's the most rich and most poor ... lots of pressure to produce social realism. the dullest possible literature. <br /> <br /> cheryl - thing about labels is it's all about controlling languages. first world is europe, 2d world is america, <br /> <br /> aud: taking romance, magical realism - <br /> <br /> AH: pearl cleage, toni morrison ... in terms of cultural appropriation i think you just need to have more writers, writing these stories so their stories are known as well as the others. i hear the same tropes all the time ... suspicious and hostile rather than open. lots of wonderful playwrights. wonderful movie 'bedouin hacker'. <br /> <br /> aud: i speak out of pure simple greed. i have seen really good fiction out of the third world written by american writers. some of it has problems especially old stuff. but lately i've seen american writers doing really good stuff. my thing is that there is a crapload of really good stuff out there and i want to see it. i attended a panel like this at worldcon in boston a couple of years ago and [[? she mentioned that #1 short fiction sf magazine int he world is in chinese. i want to read this. my comment is pure greed. somebody, somebody, <br /> <br /> aud: we've been talking about reading &amp; writing. i'm doing work now around a place in latin america. the literacy rate is only about 25%. this is of course very much class-based, if you're upper-class 95% of people read and middle class it goes down. and of course the country's changed. there's a rich 7 vibrant culture that comes mostly out of middle class. it's not a culture of - singers, improvisers on the street. it's a culture, music and of sculpture, and i'm wondering if multiculturalism of this sort is or ought to be multimediasm.<br /> <br /> AH - that's a really good topic or issue. it may think about something that Ngugi wa Thiong'o is coming out a - book published in kenya in installments - 900 pages - each book eh sold, and it sold really well there in kenya; each book eh sold is performed to multiple people - so each book gets to at least 20 people. there's a whole performance tradition so his books - it's a storytelling tradition and he's from an oral culture - and it's translated - so i perform it in my language and you perform it in your language etc. - he was jailed for doing plays like that and was run out of the country for doing plays like that. ... strong set of people going off &amp; doing that in nigeria, also in south africa. ... two actors, performed it all over, literally, came to amherst mass - they performed it, and then everyone knew about it. so it got beyond literacy, beyond the cultural barriers of language.<br /> <br /> nnedi - one of his characters was so popular and well-known that government put out a warrant.<br /> <br /> janice - really quick comments i hope. first as someone who wants to read chinese magazines, i'm also interested in this too. there' putting together a conference in chungdu just before worldcon 2007 b/c we could combine those 2 things so talk to me. 2d thing - i get disturbted when i hear people ask what do you want us to do b/c it's not their problem it's our problem. i like to remember bell hooks, we have our own brains, we should start figuring out what we want from these fascinating rich cultures and doing it in a way that accepts the beauty of it and enriches us. b/c i don't know about you but i'm tired of trying to make western culture work. thank you. hope that was short enough.<br /> <br /> SRT: would you mind if i just bullet things that came up &amp; give you a list?<br /> # only about 5 or 6 years ago Haiti annnounced Kreyol as its national language; after 200 yrs...<br /> # who knows name of william shatner movie w/ esperanto? / incubus <br /> # recently saw film called code 46 w/ tim robbins also imagined future w/ polyglot int'l language so i don't know what it was; very interesting; very common; world was diverse but divided into areas based on genetics<br /> # music is the intl language; i know how cheesy that sounds but really a lot of things, a lot of problems we have on the text, somehow they're not communciated thru the music - and - music i just wanted to say that; exmaple hiphop; you can introduce different ideas, science fictional ideas in music that don't get the same critique; i've seen diff artists intro very sf ideals into their music &amp; its being listened to in 3rd world &amp; who knows what effect is<br /> # join carl brandon society &amp; list, we share info on that on the regular<br /> # i'm trying to connect w/ more academics &amp; address issue that nnedi mentioned about labeling; if i say i'm looking for sf works by african writers, they look at you oddly, they don't know any; but then if you say, i'm looking for works that do this that and the other - and then they say ohhhh - you mean.....semantics <br /> # finally, read a book, read a goddamn book<br /> <br /> AH: read a book, read a book, read a motherfucking book<br /> <br /> [[category:WisCon 30 Panels]] [[category:linguistics]]</div>

<p>65.11.218.81: /* External link */</p> <hr /> <div>'''Daína Chaviano''' (born in [[La Habana]], [[Cuba]]) is well known for her fantasy and science fiction subjects, that cross even the boundaries of her mainstream texts.<br /> <br /> She won her first literary award when she was studying at the [[University of Havana]].

<p>65.11.218.81: /* Biography */</p> <hr /> <div>Gina Picart (1956-) is a Cuban science fiction writer and critic. Her work often includes mystical, fantastic, mythical, pagan, celtic, judeo-christian, Greek, gothic, and anthropological elements.<br /> <br /> Her SF works include:<br /> *''La poza del ángel'' (1994) - Short stories<br /> *''El druida'' (2000) - 5 novelettes<br /> *''Malevolgia'' (2006) - First full-length novel<br /> <br /> Other works by Gina Picart:<br /> <br /> *''La poética del signo como voluntad y repesentación'' A study on the narratives of Alberto Garrandés <br /> *''Historias celtas'' - Celtic stories<br /> *''La ciudad de los muertos'' Stories with Cuban themes <br /> *''El reino de la noche'' - 6 linked stories about the lives of real and imaginary women including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Siddal Elizabeth Siddal], Muse of the preraphaelite painters, the Irish poet Liadam de Corkguiney, and the Cuban aristocrat [http://www.habanaradio.cu/modules/mysections/singlefile.php?lid=577 Catalina Lasa].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> <br /> Gina Picart Baluja (Ciudad de La Habana,15 de febrero de 1956)comenzó su carrera oficial como escritora en 1994, con la publicación de su opera prima ''La poza del ángel'', libro de relatos que obtuvo el premio David de ciencia ficción en 1990, siendo la última y segunda escritora cubana que obtuvo esa distinción, ganada por primera vez en 1980 por la también escritora cubana [[Daína Chaviano]] con su libro ''Los mundos que amo''.<br /> <br /> (''La poza del ángel'' obtuvo también los premios Pinos Nuevos 1993 y HabanaFicción 1998).En 2000 fue publicado su libro ''El druida'', compuesto por cinco noveletas de género ambiguo que hacen que la crítica deje de referirse a ella como a una autora de ciencia ficción para tratarla de &quot;inclasificable&quot; y &quot;auténtico islote&quot; dentro de la producción literaria cubana. Este libro despertó una polémica en los medios literarios habaneros y fue un record de ventas, agotándose tan rápidamente como el primero. En 2006 aparece ''Malevolgia,'' su primera novela, texto que vuelve a desconcertar a los críticos, incluso más que sus anteriores publicaciones. Esta autora, cuyos relatos han aparecido fundamentalmente en antologías de narativa femenina cubana, tiene escasa presencia en recopilaciones temáticas y generacionales, debido a su originalidad y a que, hasta el presente, no ha publicado nada que tenga que ver con la realidad actual de la historia de su país. Se le reconoce gran maestría en el dominio del lenguaje, la creación de atmósferas, la caracterización psicológica de sus personajes y la intensidad dramática de sus historias.

<p>65.11.218.81: </p> <hr /> <div>Gina Picart (1956-) is a Cuban science fiction writer and critic. Her work often includes mystical, fantastic, mythical, pagan, celtic, judeo-christian, Greek, gothic, and anthropological elements.<br /> <br /> Her SF works include:<br /> *''La poza del ángel'' (1994) - Short stories<br /> *''El druida'' (2000) - 5 novelettes<br /> *''Malevolgia'' (2006) - First full-length novel<br /> <br /> Other works by Gina Picart:<br /> <br /> *''La poética del signo como voluntad y repesentación'' A study on the narratives of Alberto Garrandés <br /> *''Historias celtas'' - Celtic stories<br /> *''La ciudad de los muertos'' Stories with Cuban themes <br /> *''El reino de la noche'' - 6 linked stories about the lives of real and imaginary women including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Siddal Elizabeth Siddal], Muse of the preraphaelite painters, the Irish poet Liadam de Corkguiney, and the Cuban aristocrat [http://www.habanaradio.cu/modules/mysections/singlefile.php?lid=577 Catalina Lasa].<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Biography==<br /> <br /> Gina Picart Baluja (Ciudad de La Habana,15 de febrero de 1956)comenzó su carrera oficial como escritora en 1994, con la publicación de su opera prima ''La poza del ángel'', libro de relatos que obtuvo el premio David de ciencia ficción en 1990, siendo la última y segunda escritora cubana que obtuvo esa distinción, ganada por primera vez en 1980 por la también escritora cubana [[Daína Chaviano]] con su libro ''Los mundos que amo''.<br /> <br /> (''La poza del ángel'' obtuvo también los premios Pinos Nuevos 1993 y HabanaFicción 1998).En 2000 fue publicado su libro ''El druida'', compuesto por cinco noveletas de género ambiguo que hacen que la crítica deje de referirse a ella como a una autora de ciencia ficción para tratarla de &quot;inclasificable&quot; y &quot;auténtico islote&quot; dentro de la producción literaria cubana. Este libro despertó una polémica en los medios literarios habaneros y fue un record de ventas, agotándose tan rápidamente como el primero. En 2006 aparece ''Malevolgia,'' su primera novela, texto que vuelve a desconcertar a los críticos, incluso más que sus anteriores publicaciones. Esta autora, cuyos relatos han aparecido fundamentalmente en antologías de narativa femenina cubana, tiene escasa presencia en recopilaciones temáticas y generacionales, debido a su originalidad y a que, hasta el presente, no ha publicado nada que tenga que ver con la realidad actual de la historia de su país. Se le reconoce gran maestría en el dominio del lenguaje, la creación de atmósferas, la caracterización psicológica de sus personajes y la intensidad dramática de sus historias. También se la considera como posiblemente la única escritora en la isla que muestra interés por acercarse a los mitos y religiones de épocas pasadas. <br /> <br /> Picart ha manifestado reiteradamente en entrevistas y pesentaciones públicas que se siente muy atraía por la antropología,la arqueología,la historia antigua,los cultos paganos y en particular por el mundo celta.

<p>65.11.218.81: </p> <hr /> <div>Hi - Thanks for the great work. If you're Daína or a fan, can I ask why you are taking off the [[:Category:Year of birth missing]] category? It's a maintenance category we use until we are able to include the year of birth. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 20:31, 27 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> I am the person who created and keeps this author's Web site. I know from her agent that they don't want to show the author's year of birth. That is why it does not appear in any of her books. So this is an information that probably won't be available any time soon ;-))<br /> <br /> : Okay, good to know. Maybe you can note that on the Daína talk page so we don't include it until and if it is made public. I can make a new category [[:Category:Year of birth private]]. But can we at least specify 20th century births? It would help with automatic sorting when we ever get that going. --[[User:Lquilter|LQ]] 22:35, 27 April 2007 (PDT)<br /> <br /> Well, I think your idea of creating a category for Year of Date Private will be useful in more than one case. I have noticed lately that many writers (both women and men) do not include their year of birth on their book covers. I guess we could add that she was born in the 20th century, although I think this is obvious after seeing the dates in which her books were published.</div>
