		Guillermoprieto captures the complexity of a revolution that scared and bewildered but attracted her.
		Abysmally ignorant about Cuba and therefore utterly unprepared for the harsh realities and painful paradoxes that await, she arrives on May 1, 1970, and is soon struggling to stay sane at a state-run dance boarding school with inadequate food, no mirrors, no music, and students who have never seen modern dance before.
		Guillermoprieto vividly and purposefully recounts her acute discomfort with the strained and ludicrous rhetoric of the revolution, her sorrow over Castro's catastrophic failures, her astonishment at the great valor of Cuba's people, and her gradual recognition of her true calling as a journalist.

		Guillermoprieto had also taken to Havana a set of assumptions about Cuba lifted from the New York art scene of the late 1960s and early 70s, and the Mexican intellectual tradition.
		This indifference is manifested in the neglected art school — which Guillermoprieto calls “a poisoned, almost radioactive complex that the Revolution had declared contaminated from its origins” — the ill-prepared, if eager students, the absence of a dance repertoire, and the general lack of direction of the school itself.
		Among the other joys she experiences in Cuba are the friendships of a group of gay men, of a few of her colleagues, and of her bright-eyed students, all of them struggling to be true to a country which was failing them in so many ways.

		Guillermoprieto's memoir of the Cuban Revolution is a very personal account of one person's experience in Cuba after the revolution.
		She does not endeavor to provide broad background information regarding the history or politics in Cuba and is in fact quite naive and ignorant of even basic current events during the memoir.
		IT IS a memoir and the self pity of her young self is conveyed with a brutal honesty--it is the middle-aged writer descibing where she once was and her perspective is a perfect balance of scorn and affection for who she was.
