Jorge Edwards' memoir Persona Non Grata tells the story of his disillusionment with the Cuban Revolution, a experience that has left him estranged from his homeland. Edwards was a young doctor when the Revolution erupted in 1959, and was quickly drawn into the fervor of the moment. He was soon a member of the Communist Party, and worked tirelessly to support the new regime. However, as time went on and the Revolution failed to deliver on its promises, Edwards began to question his beliefs. He left the Party in the early 1970s and has since made a life for himself in exile, living in Spain and France. Persona Non Grata is a powerful, personal account of one man's disillusionment with the Cuban Revolution, and a testament to the power of hope and change.; 8vo; 294 pages.
