"A couple of years later, I asked him why,
so late in the day, he had decided to
adopt socialism. He acknowledged that he
had come to it late, long after most of
the world had abandoned it, but said that it
had clicked for him after he had read
Victor Hugo’s epic novel Les Misérables .
That, and listening to Fidel."
— The New Yorker 's Jon Lee Anderson
"As you can see, we've had our eye on you
for some time now, Mr. Anderson."
