Obejas pertenece a la generación de niños cubanos que abandonaron la isla con sus padres rumbo a Estados Unidos poco después del triunfo de la Revolución Cubana. La biculturalidad, no solo vinculada a Cuba, sino al universo latino en general en Estados Unidos está muy presente en sus textos. Otro referente constante en su narrativa es el tema homoerótico, que aborda desde posiciones de militancia activa, con una actitud desenfadada, agresiva y que rompe convencionalismos. Si bien sus primeros textos narrativos aparecieron en inglés, Achy Obejas ha comenzado luego a escribir también en español y ha visto traducida su obra a este idioma. (es)
