Self-Portrait of the Other by Heberto Padilla
The autobiography of Cuba's finest poet, whose condemnation by the Castro regime became a cause celebre.
Intellectuals alienated from the Castro government who have told their stories tend to sound spiteful and illiberal, like Cabrera Infante; Padilla takes pains to do better. His style is clear, sometimes witty, often bitter, persevering but not burdensome, and evincing an occasional affinity with both Orwell and Hemingway. - Publishers Weekly
Heberto Padilla and his wife, poet Belkis Cuza Male, divided their time between Princeton, New Jersey, and Madrid, Spain.
