ReviewsThe Colombian's evident fascination with Castro demonstrates that literary geniuses are not immune to the blandishments of power., Tellingly rebukes the Left's propensity for blinding itself to the failings of the Cuban revolution by glamorizing its leaders., Esteban and Panichelli frame Fidel and Gabo in a recurring muse-like narrative voice. Highly intriguing.
SynopsisInFidel and Gabo, Marquez scholars Angel Esteban and Stephanie Panichelli examine this strange, intimate, and incredibly controversial friendship between the beloved author and Cuban dictator, exposing facets of their personalities never before revealed to the greater public. For years, Marquez, long fascinated with power, solicited and flattered Castro in hopes of a personal audience, for he viewed Castro s Cuba as the model on which Latin American would one day build its own brand of socialism. Upon their first meeting, Castro quickly came to regard Marquez as a genius and still calls him his closest friend and confidant. To this day, Marquez still gives Castro first look at all his manuscripts and craves his approval. Fidel and Gabo is a vivid and in-depth look at two of the most influential men of the modern era, their worlds, and the effect this friendship has had on their life and works.
