Edward Gonzalez discusses his novel, “Ernesto’s Ghost.” He begins by talking about his travels to Cuba in 1974 to study the Cuban Revolution. He talks about how his father was fighting for the revolution but became disillusioned in his later years. He talks about the components that make up a successful revolution. Although the book is fiction, the majority of stories in the novel come from real life events and experiences people have shared with him. Gonzalez describes how he is banned from traveling to Cuba because of some anti-government articles he has written. He ends the interview by discussing how he supports the Cuban embargo ban, and speculates who will come into power after Fidel Castro.
