In 'Persona non grata', Jorge Edwards recounts his experience as Chile's ambassador to Cuba during Salvador Allende's government. The book narrates the four months he spent in Havana trying to open a Chilean embassy and his growing disillusionment with the Cuban revolution, especially after the arrest of his friend Heberto Padilla. Edwards describes in detail his encounter with a regime that was beginning to repress intellectuals, culminating in his own expulsion and the declaration of 'persona non grata' by Fidel Castro. This work is a controversial and sincere testimony of a crucial moment in Latin American history.
Jorge Edwards Valdés was a Chilean novelist, journalist and diplomat. He was the Chilean ambassador to France during the first Sebastián Piñera presidency.
