Writer Jorge Edwards (1931) was first diplomatic envoy from Salvador Allende’s Chile to Fidel Castro’s Cuba. Persona non grata is the memoir of the difficult coexistence between Edwards and the Cuban Revolution which would end with his expulsion from the island. This is the first great critique by a Latin American intellectual of the authoritarianism of a regime which was the time the object of widespread idealization.
