Sumario:This paper sets out to investigate the readings, referents, patterns and springs of the Cuban literary canon that some Generation Zero narrators have made/used/identified to configure Havana in their works. It is based on the hypothesis that those referents and readings are updated, retaken and deconstructed by this generation at the moment of expressing their personal relationship with/interpretation of the city and although a group of recent writings produced in Cuba wants to set fire to the archive, many of them still continue to nourish from the tradition. Thus, this text dedicates a first part to make visible the negotiations with the canon and a second part that describes the design traced by some authors of the XXI century of their cities from the experience, readings and affectivity.
