Enrique Labrador Ruiz, periodista, novelista, ensayista, cuentista y poeta cubano, nació en Sagua la Grande, Cuba, el 11 de mayo de 1902. Fue miembro de la Academia Cubana de la Lengua y también de la Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española. Labrador Ruiz fue un hombre culto y viajado que creó su propio estilo de escribir novelas, que llamó gaseiforme. En 1933 publicó
su primera novela de este estilo, El laberinto de sí mismo, que forma una trilogía con Cresival (1936) y Anteo (Novela gaseiforme) (1940). Con su colección de cuentos, El gallo en el espejo (1953), estableció su estilo cuentería cubiche. En sus obras descubrió la neblinosidad mental como característica de lo cubano. En 1976, Labrador Ruiz y su esposa María (Cheché) fueron exiliados de Cuba.
Después de residir en España y Venezuela, se mudaron y mantuvieron su residencia permanente en Miami, Florida, donde falleció en 1991. Durante sus años de exilio, Labrador Ruiz escribió para muchas revistas literarias y periódicos. Recibió numerosos premios y honores por sus obras literarias. En Cuba, Conejito Ulán ganó el Premio Hernández Catá en 1946, y en 1950 su novela Sangre
hambrienta ganó el Premio Nacional de Literatura. Su obra final fue Cartas a la Carte (Ediciones Universal, Miami, 1991), que decía era también neblinosa, con una prosa que muestra la excesividad y la insuficiencia cubanas. La primera verbal y la segunda moral.
