The Autobiography of Fidel Castro by Norberto Fuentes
An audacious biography of the ex-president of Cuba told in Castros own outrageous, bombastic voice.
"What makes this account particularly appealing is Castro’s (or Fuentes’) version of critical events and his relations with and feelings concerning historical figures... Of course, this isn’t history, but it is enjoyable, interesting, and probably as accurate a portrait as we are likely to get." -- Jay Freeman - Booklist
Journalist, award-winning fiction author, and former member of the Cuban revolution, Norberto Fuentes has written ten books, including Hemingway in Cuba. His work has been praised by writers such as Italo Calvino, William Kennedy, and Gabriel García Márquez. He left Cuba in 1994 and now lives in exile in Florida. Anna Kushner was born in Philadelphia and first traveled to Cuba in 1999. Beside her “commanding translation” (Words Without Borders) of The Halfway House (ND, 2009), her writing and translations have appeared in numerous other print and web publications.
