Randy Paul notes the death of Cuban writer Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Infante was a son of the revolution:
He fell out of favour after opposing the government's decision to ban a documentary on Havana nightlife made by his brother. Castro publicly rebuked him in a trial and he was henceforth forbidden to publish.
I'm reminded of a line I once read by Infante, "There is no such as a persecution complex in a place where
the persecution is so complex." I can't recall the name of the book because I gave it to Cuban journalist Claudia Marquez. She emailed in December to say she's been given permission to leave and last I heard she's still stuck there.
