He Aquí Que El Profeta Habla de Los Cubanos

"...un texto irónico sobre la paradójica idiosincracia de sus compatriotas...pero en un tono jocoso que endulza la crítica sin rebajar la oculta severidad."
Lundy (Luis Aguilar León)encapsuló magistralmente algunos elementos críticos de ese análisis en el ya famoso artículo "He aquí que 'El Profeta' habla de los cubanos". Y yo creo que a pesar de lo corto de ese escrito, posiblemente sea la contribución más trascendente del profesor para la posteridad. Medio en chiste y medio en serio, Lundy disecciona algunos elementos de la cultura cubana que, en mi opinión, reflejan fortalezas y debilidades del carácter nacional que pueden servir para explicar cómo fue posible que un solo hombre, asistido por sus secuaces y por las turbas, se hiciera dueño y señor absoluto de Cuba. - Jorge A. Sanguinetty
