• Resumen

  • Bilingual in Spanish and English, the Cuban writer Calvert Casey (Baltimore, 1924 - Rome, 1969) is best known for his Spanish-language collections of stories, El regreso (1962) and Notas de un simulador (1969). Focusing on Casey's English-language fiction, two stories entitled "The Walk" and "Piazza Margana", and relying on linguistic notion of diglossia, the essay examines whether Casey is the same writer, or the same man, in two languages, neither one of which can be properly labelled his mother tongue.
