Late writer Tony Gutiérrez.

Antonio Gutiérrez Rodríguez died this Tuesday in Las Tunas, at the age of 73, due to digestive bleeding. The writer, editor, critic, and researcher leaves a trail of sadness, especially in his guild. We owe a lot to this author. Not only for his numerous books but for worrying about training editors, promoting culture, and training new talents in the world of letters.
