Carlos Alberto Montaner

Carlos Alberto Montaner (born April 3, 1943) is an exiled Cuban author known for his more than 25 books and thousands of articles, including several novels, the last of which is La mujer del coronel (The Colonel's wife). Some of his books are devoted to explaining the true nature of the Cuban dictatorship, for example: Journey To The Heart of Cuba. PODER magazine has estimated that more than six million readers have access to his weekly columns. He has been published widely in Latin American newspapers, and published fiction and non-fiction books on Latin America. Since 1968 he has had a syndicated weekly column in many newspapers around the world. Montaner is a political analyst for CNN en Español and a collaborator on the book, The Cuban Exile, along with well-known Cuban writers Mirta Ojito, award-winning poet and writer Carlos Pintado and Carlos Eire, a book coordinated by Cuban musician and producer Emilio Estefan. In October 2012, Foreign Policy magazine selected Montaner as one of the fifty most influential intellectuals in the Ibero-American world.
