Well, GGM is a good buddy of FCR. An apologist, even. Can't expect him to use his conscience in any reasonable manner, certainly not to list El Barbudo's crimes against the Cuban people:

The Latin American authors I admire are people like Guillermo Cabrera Infante, author of Three Trapped Tigers, who signed the February 2, 1989 letter to FCR and has been a constant thorn in FCR's side. A Marxist of the Marx Brothers kind. With your penchant for puns, humor, and creative use of language and words, I suspect that, like me, you thoroughly enjoyed TTT. If not, I highly recommend it.
Here's GCI's perfect and sly nabokovian reference in TTT to Laughter in the Dark, which has the best introductory three or so paragraphs in Western Literature:

I'm giving the foreign policy and political debates a rest for the rest of the year. What the f***, it's a beautiful day, nothing is happening, who gives a flying doughnut about mad cows, Husseins, AQ, OBL, may they all rot in hell while I take some well-deserved rest in the company of my friends and family. |
