Calvert Casey, born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1923, of an American father and a Cuban mother, was educated in Cuba but lived in New York from 1946 to 1957, when he returned to Havana. During the first years of the Revolution he was an editor and published his short stories in the literary magazine Lunes de Revolución. Soon after this magazine was banned, he chose his second exile in Rome, where he wrote his final story, “Piazza Margana,” in English. He took his life soon after. His single volume of short stories, El regreso, was published in 1963.
