Evocation, by Aleida March

Letters, notes, poems, fatherhood, Evocation is for sure meant to cast another light upon the guerrilla leader.

On 21st of March we posted on Literary Agenda a link to an article covering the launch of Evocation- My life with Che, by Aleida March. This drives a lot of traffic to our site apparently.

I did some research myself, only to realize that there are no English articles referring the book. Could be because it hasn’t yet been translated into English?

Aleida March (Cuba, 1936), currently the Director of Che Guevara Studies Center, became the second wife of the Cuban legend in 1959 and they spent together eight years. Their children encouraged her to write the book, forty years after Che Guevara’s death, in Bolivia.

Already published in Italy, Spain, Greece, Serbia, Evocation will be present in Japan soon. I wonder if there is going to be released also in US, as until now I didn’t find any source that confirms this. I will post an article as soon as the book will hit the shelves.
