Abstract
In this work I discuss the relations between politics and literature developed by Severo Sarduy throughout his career. The starting point is the problematic place he occupied as a Cuban exiled and as a writer who guided his work towards a new form of revolution. The work has two central purposes. First, the paper aims to describe some texts (the essays published in Mundo Nuevo, Cobra and La simulación) in which Sarduy exposes his new conception of politics; secondly, the work aims to analyze, in his work, the dissolution of the revolutionary program and the development of an autobiographical and disillusioned writing.
