His arrival coincided with the turning point of the Revolution, when Castro began to repress the very intellectuals he once courted. <br /><br />In Kafkaesque detail, Edwards records the four explosive months he spent in Havana trying to open a Chilean embassy and his disenchantment with the revolution.<br /><br />Jorge Edwards will be in Dublin at the Instituto Cervantes the 3rd of March and at the Dublin Book Festival, the 4rd of March.Davidhttp://dublin.cervantes.esnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30557831.post-54567032789903848102011-02-16T16:29:51.503+00:002011-02-16T16:29:51.503+00:00Great idea for your blog!
