Russell Evatt: On "Fidel in Ohio"
Martìn Espada’s Fidel in Ohio portrays a bus driver politically minded enough to gesture to a complete stranger over something in a “tabloid.” Perhaps ‘politically minded’ is too strong a characterization for the bus driver, as the driver is merely making a comment. But the driver is attempting some comment of a political nature it’s just that he has some bad information, is taking the article out of context of the paper in which it is printed.
