Heberto Padilla (Author)
A chilling account of the fate of intellectuals and artists in contemporary Cuba, Herberto Padilla’s frankly autobioghraphical novel is the story of a writer who refuses to give over to the revolutionary state othe power of his art. In the process, Heroes Are Grazing In my Garden paints an astonishingly realistic portrait of an idealist movement gone sour, and the lives of the men and womern lost in the somber turn of the tide.
