Review:

Much better than Schnabel's film. Full of life, dreams, and the fight for freedom which terminates in 
New York. Makes you highly aware of Castro's evil persecution of dissenters and gays. The book is 
rich, episodic, don quixote?, full of warm life. I am left with images of a flight through bush, under the 
sea, stopping only for a blow job, and back to write and argue.
