To Gilberto Reyes for giving Voice and Life in the audiobook to Aurelio Ortiz. Even though his presence lasted only one chapter, he is one of the most real characters I have ever written, because in his monologue I write that pain of the Cuban people. Only Gilberto could capture with his voice the frustration and the pain with which I tried to write that monologue. Thank you, Gilbert!!!

To Felix Llerena for his YouTube video “Diaz-Canel Singao se grita hoy en La Habana,” from which I was able to extract the crowd's chant and use it in the audiobook, preserving that real message of the San Isidro movement for posterity.
