Michael Reid ha escrito una historia poderosa para nuestra época. Basada en los eventos de la vida-y eventualmente el escape- asombroso de Roberto Ramos en la isla de Cuba, 'El cuadro' es un relato ficticio de la vida de Roberto Ramos desde el 1982 hasta el 1992. Criado bajo el régimen de Castro, Roberto aprende con el tiempo como Fidel traicionó a la Revolución. Esta es la historia de la indignación de Ramos a esta traición y el alto precio que paga por expresarlo. Los descaros de su resistencia son asombrosos y causa una trama que capta al lector en suspenso. La tensión se amontona hasta la última página, donde el suspenso finalmente se rinde al triunfo humano sobre la opresión. También hay un elemento artístico crucial a la historia. Por el camino y al momento de su escape a los Estados Unidos, Ramos es atraído a las obras de los maestros cubanos-en especial la tradición de pintura prerrevolucionaria cubana-como un desagüe para sus emociones y sus frustraciones con el gobierno de Castro, un sistema que encuentra cada vez más intolerable mientras más años pasan y su angustia aumenta. En un viaje que es aterrador, pero también un triunfo del espíritu humano, Ramos revela el poder del individuo en luchar contra un sistema político injusto. En hacerlo, él rescata su propia identidad y la herencia artística que lo define. La historia de Roberto Ramos es una historia personal cautivadora, pero el poder de este libro cae también en contarla. Reid captura los detalles de una odisea extraordinaria y los entrelaza en un drama extenso, creando una parábola para nuestra época. Es la conciencia aguda a los detalles de Reid que nos demuestra como valorar la riqueza de la vida, hasta en las luchas más crueles. El resultado es una historia para todos que atesoran la libertad . . . y la vida.
