La revolución a dedo

Reflectively written from the present, the short but powerful text of this book is interspersed with the diaries (and photos) that Cynthia Rimsky made during her journey. It was a belated and disappointing trip to the Revolution. Already then the author knew how to account for her bewilderment and critical distance from what she saw and heard, but then, when we return to those texts and comment on them decades later, what we already have is pure lucidity, black humor, a sharp critical gaze; a thorough understanding and intelligence of the human, all manifested through a unique narrative sagacity. A vibrant text, the gaze of an incomparable Chilean and a remote and turbulent reality: the Nicaraguan.
