The Autobiography of Fidel Castro (Paperback)

An audacious "biography" of the ex-president of Cuba told in
Castro's own outrageous, bombastic voice. Prize-winning author and
journalist Norberto Fuentes was once a revolutionary: a writer with
privileged access to Fidel Castro's inner circle during some the
most challenging years of the revolution. But in the late 1990s, as
the regime began sending its oldest comrades to the firing squad,
he became A Man Who Knew Too Much. Escaping a death sentence and
now living in exile, Fuentes has written a brilliant, satirical,
and utterly captivating "autobiography" of the Cuban leader-in
Fidel's own arrogant and seductive language-discussing everything
from Castro's early sexual experiences in Biran to his true
feelings about Che Guevara and his philosophy on murder, legacy,
and state secrets. Critics have long admired Fuentes's writing; one
U.S. article called him "Norman Mailer's Cuban pen pal." Akin to
Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, or Edmund
Morris's Dutch, this wickedly entertaining, true-to-life
masterpiece is as imaginative and outsized as Castro himself.
