About this title

About the Author:

Guillermo Cabrera Infante was born in Gibara, Cuba in 1929. He has written novels, stories, critical essays and screenplays, and has lectured at universities throughout the world. He grew up in Cuba under the dictator Batista, knew Guevara (whom he calls Chaos Guevara) and Fidel Castro personally, and lives now in England as an exile. Hailed by the Sunday Times as 'the most outstanding living Cuban novelist', he is the author of Three Trapped Tigers, Infante's Inferno, Holy Smoke, View of Dawn in the Tropics and Writes of Passage, and a collection of film criticism (written from 1954 to 1960, before his exile, under the pseudonym G. Cain), A Twentieth Century Job.

Synopsis:

Mea Cuba is a political autobiography, the political testament of Cuba's greatest living writer, a collection of Guillermo Cabrera Infante's writings on Cuba from 1968-1992. In this remarkable and compelling volume Cabrera Infante explores the nature of the Cuban revolution and, as he sees it, its evil genius Fidel Castro. Writing from exile he has produced an analysis of his homeland and of the last surviving communist revolution that is at once brilliant, brilliantly witty, magisterial and profound.
