In it, both formally and in thematic terms, the author emphasizes his attempt to use the literary platform as an archive that reflects the interweaving between the personal and the collective, and between the individual and the nation. Using the tools provided by fiction writing, Lage analyzes notions such as citizenship, civil society, and national defense.

La novela Archivo, de Jorge Enrique Lage, es un documento literario que no sigue una estructura tradicional. En este, tanto en términos formales como de contenido, su autor enfatiza su intención de utilizar la plataforma literaria que ofrece la novela como un archivo que refleje las imbricaciones entre la historia personal y la colectiva, entre el individuo y la nación. Con herramientas propias de la ficción, Lage analiza las nociones de ciudadanía, sociedad civil y defensa nacional. Al hacer esto, el autor superpone los imaginarios sobrenaturales del fantasma, el zombie, el doble y el cyborg, por un lado, a historias narradas con tono realista que recrean el cuerpo queer y la figura del espía, por el otro, convocando un espacio de alteridad para la literatura cubana. Este trabajo demuestra que el espacio propuesto por Jorge Enrique Lage en Archivo es uno de intervención política a través de la memoria.
