Guillermo Cabrera Infante
A favorite of the various anti-movements (anti-Castro, anti-communist, etc.). Well written and extreme. On page four Castro is vaguely compared to Adolf Hitler!
Gustavo Pérez Firmat
It's been years since I read this, but I remember it fondly (even though I don't agree with many of the author's conclusions). It's important to understand that most Cubans who came to the U.S. immediately after the Revolution thought they'd be returning soon.
