I Have Assiduously Avoided Calling My Books

A Very Wise Author Once Said That A Writer Writes For Himself, And Then Publishes For Money. I Write For Myself And Publish Just For The Reader

So I Do Not Consider Myself A Chronicler Of My Fatherland Or Even A Chronicler Of Havana

I Am A Writer Of Fragments.

I Think That I've Tried Many Times To Get Cuba In My Writings, Especially Havana, Which Was Once A Great And Fascinating City.

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