I WAS born outside Havana in an apartment upstairs from my father‚s hardware store. He‚d taken it over from his father, who had moved from Spain in 1920.
My first few years were the last few years of the Batista dictatorship. Like many other middle-class business people, my father supported Fidel Castro. After the revolution in 1959 was the happiest time I can remember. But when Castro declared Cuba a socialist state and himself a Marxist-Leninist, my father felt so betrayed.
