But I Do Not Have The Reader

My Parents Were Founders Of The Cuban Communist Party, And I Grew Up Extremely Poor.

My Mother Had Been Educated At A Convent, And She Had Been Converted To Communism By My Father During Stalin's Most Rampant Period, At The Beginning Of The 1930s. So She Had Two Gods, God In Heaven And God On Earth.

I Don't Have Any Style.

I Read The Odyssey Because It Was The Story Of A Man Who Returned Home After Being Absent For More Than Twenty Years And Was Recognized Only By His Dog.

Writing For Me, Even What You Call Serious Writing, Is Play.
