Cuban History - I'm a Marxist Lenonist
Vargasiosa, since the eighties, has been writing historical novels. And he has a real talent for choosing the juiciest moments in latin american history to write about. So of course, as someone who has lived on and off in guatemala for a long time, i was delighted when he chose the 19 54 co there's a feeling of, oh my god, he's noticing this tiny country that is so important. But what does he add by fictionalizing it? He really misses the opportunity, in my opinion, to further fiction alise what sort of remains non fiction on the page often.
