Despite being compared to American authors like Bukowski and Miller, Gutiérrez had not read them before publishing his work. The transcript also touches on the Cuban perspective towards reconciliation with the US, especially during Obama's historic visit, emphasizing a cautious optimism and a hope that Cuban youth will resist consumerism.
