"This book brings together historical facts, documentary images of Cuba, and a baffling narrative to raise issues concerning social change through violence. The narrative concerns a certain Mr. O, a schizophrenic professor at a small Midwestern university, who believed he was in Bolivia with Che Guevara in 1967. The book concludes that Mr. O lived in a shadowy world 'part real, part imagined in which violence and history were the only two reliable protagonists.' This 144 page was offset printed with Visual Studies Workshop in 1999." -- artist's statement
