“This is the story of a poor, young Cuban boy who grew into a man and gained the trust and respect of a famous American author, whom he loved like a father. A man he called ‘Papa.’’―from the PrefaceIn 1996 René Villarreal returned to Cuba to retrieve his memoir of his life with Ernest Hemingway at the Finca Vigia. Sadly, he learned that the manuscript and photographs had been lost. Determined to tell his story, Villarreal, together with his son Raúl, set about rewriting the account of how he came to be Ernest Hemingway’s majordomo, confidant, and friend―his Cuban son.Hemingway, called El Americano by the Cubans, moved into the Finca Vigia, an estate outside of Havana, in 1939. He allowed the village children to play on his property, and they soon became fixtures, caring for his pets, performing odd jobs, and running errands. Hemingway recognized René as especially responsible and attentive and made him household manager, or majordomo, in 1946 when René was only seventeen.For the next fifteen years, René ran the Finca, tending to Hemingway and his wife, Mary, and their visiting family and distinguished guests. Villarreal’s clear recollections offer up humorous stories of escapades and adventures with Hemingway as well as insightful comments on the writer’s work habits, moods, passions, and friendships. He also writes of Cuba before and after the revolution, capturing so well the sense of place and time. Scholars and readers of Hemingway worldwide will be caught up in this compelling story of a great friendship and will find insight into this complicated, fascinating, brilliant writer.

Uno de los heridos mas graves de aquella primera ola de violencia fue Odilo Alonso, un español que a finales de los años 50 emigro a Cuba. Le aconsejaron a Odilo que regresara a España cuando Castro confisco la finca donde trabajaba. Pudo hacerlo, pero dijo que, si Cuba le habia acogido como a un hijo, su deber era luchar por la libertad. Y tomo su fusil y se fue a las montañas de Escambray. Recuerdo al español Odilo Alonso, lo golpearon con saña en la cabeza, sangraba por los oidos [...] Odilo Alonso se desperto a la mañana siguiente con la cabeza monstruosamente hinchada, nunca hubiera imaginado que alguien podria haber parecido tan grotescamente deformado. Armando Valladares. Esta autobiografia es la denuncia en carne viva del regimen castrista y un terrible muestrario de vejaciones y maltratos. De igual modo es el triunfo de alguien que se tiene un gran respeto a si mismo. / One of the worst casualties of the first wave of violence was Odilo Alonso, a Spaniard who in the late 1950s emigrated to Cuba. Odilo was told to return to Spain when Castro confiscated the estate where he worked. He could've, but he said that if Cuba had welcomed him as a son, his duty was to fight for Cuba.
