      abstract = {There's no romance in the relationship between the Cuban  dictator Fidel Castro and the Nobel-winning Colombian  novelist Gabriel García Márquez, argues this stinging  j'accuse. On the surface their friendship is chummy and  literary: Castro drops by García Márquez's Havana  mansion--a gift from Castro himself--for endless  conversation and critiques his manuscripts. But the authors  view the men's bond as corrupt and neurotic: García  Márquez, obsessed with power in both his fiction and real  life, gets political influence; Castro, in turn, gets  cultural prestige and a matchless propagandist. The authors  condemn García Márquez's public silence over Cuban  censorship and human rights violations. Almost compulsive  in their point scoring, the authors jeer at the novelist  for going to American rather than Cuban hospitals. More  polemic than biography, their study tellingly rebukes the  Left's propensity for blinding itself to the failings of  the Cuban revolution by glamorizing its leaders.--From  publisher description.},
