Official synopsis Publisher
“Quirky, unpredictable, often hilarious, Infante’s book tells us much about the effect of the Cuban revolution on Cuban literature.” – Publishers Weekly
With bitter irony, the author tells a story sadly repeated during this century. A dictatorship that silences the intellectuals, a regime that lies and kills, and a propaganda war that has yet to end. One of the best compilations of documents on recent Cuban history.
