Synopsis

"Llegó la hora de recapitular. Hay que ir haciendo las maletas. Desaparecer es una actividad ingrata que sólo se justifica porque es la única prueba irrefutable de que hemos vivido".

En estas páginas, el escritor y periodista cubano Carlos Alberto Montaner escribe sobre cuanto ha visto y oído, lo que ha creido y lo que recuerda, pero advierte que habrá algunos pasajes involuntariamente inventados: "A veces, incluso, los sueños se mezclan con la realidad y es difícil saber dónde terminan unos y comienza la otra. Las memorias no son estudios históricos sino el reflejo de las percepciones y éstas se desdibujan o se transforman con el tiempo de manera inexorable".

Con estas memorias, que decidió comenzar a redactar en 2015, Montaner hablará sobre la Revolución Cubana, ocurrida durante su adolescencia y que moldeó su vida. Continuará con sus años de exilio, que comenzó a los 18 años y lo llevaron de Miami a Puerto Rico, de allí a España y nuevamente a Miami, siempre con un pie en un avión. "Utilizaré estos recuerdos para incursionar en el juicio histórico y político".

Pese a haber vivido fuera de Cuba las cuatro quintas partes de su vida, Montaner advierte que "no recuerdo un solo día en el que esa isla no hubiera estado presente en mí de alguna forma. Siempre ha existido una llamada, una noticia, un visitante, un artículo, un libro, una entrevista, una firma colectiva, una conversación, algo que me obligaba a recordar mi condición de exiliado y me retrotraía al centro del conflicto".

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Let's recap. Get packing. Disappearing is a thankless activity that is only justified because it is the only irrefutable proof that we have lived."

In this book, Cuban writer and journalist Carlos Alberto Montaner talks about all that he has seen and heard, believed and remembered, but he warns that there may be some passages that were unwittingly invented: "sometimes, even, dreams mix with reality and it is difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. Memories are not historical studies but the reflection of perceptions, and those inevitably blur or transform over time."

With these memories, which he decided to start writing in 2015, Montaner talks about the Cuban Revolution, which happened during his adolescence and forever shaped his life. He continues with his years in exile, which started when he was 18 and took him from Miami to Puerto Rico, then to Spain and again to Miami, always with one foot on a plane. "I will use these memories to dabble in historical and political judgment."

Despite having lived outside of Cuba for 80% of his life, Montaner warns that "I don't remember a single day in which that island wasn't present in me in some way. There has always been a call, a piece of news, a visitor, an article, a book, an interview, a joint venture, a conversation, something that requires me to remember my condition as an exile and takes me back to the center of the conflict."
