An eyewitness account of idealism, self-discovery, and loss under one of the twentieth-century's most repressive political regimes Set against a backdrop of world-changing events during the headiest years of the Cuban Revolution, Goodbye, My Havana follows young Connie Veltfort as her once relatively privileged life among a community of anti-imperialist expatriates turns to progressive disillusionment and heartbreak. The consolidation of Castro's position brings violence, cruelty, and betrayal to Connie's doorstep. And the crackdown that ultimately forces her family and others to flee for their lives includes homosexuals among its targets―Connie's coming-of-age story is one also about the dangers of coming out. Looking back with a mixture of hardheaded clarity and tenderness at her alter ego and a forgotten era, with this gripping graphic memoir Anna Veltfort takes leave of the past even as she brings neglected moments of the Cold War into the present.

History

Redwood Press

No desde que leí MAUS sentí tanta cercanía con unas viñetas que se desdibujaban como una biografía tan personal como histórica. Hubo en el curso de mi vida afición sobre esta modalidad más madura del comic con los dibujos elegantes de algunos artistas que publicaban en los años 70 en la revista italiana Linus. La inmediatez testimonial de esta narrativa ilustrada cobra sentido al constatar los pasos en la vida de una pequeña comunidad norteamericana antiimperialista comprometida con la izquierda en los albores de la toma del poder en Cuba por Fidel Castro y su posterior consolidación como Líder Máximo. La desilusión paso a paso va desvelándose amargamente desde la llegada de la protagonista y autora a la isla hasta su despedida. Este capítulo de la historia cubana nunca se ha narrado. Deja particularmente en evidencia a los exégetas como Herbert Mathews, JeanPaul Sartre, entre otros, sean “left wing liberals” o “gauche divine”. Si la verdad histórica existe, se muestra aquí en otra faceta del caleidoscopio y pesadilla que todos hemos vivido.
