I met Gabriel García Márquez and Fidel Castro at the Convention Palace in Havana during a medical meeting I attended in Cuba in the early ’80s. I also had the honor of being extensively quoted in one of his articles, “Con las Malvinas o sin Ellas” (With or Without the Malvinas). My article (which I had signed under the pseudonym of Juan Montalvo, to protect my family in Argentina) was a long interview with two leaders of the Madres of Plaza de Mayo organization in Argentina. It is a courageous group of women who still search for their sons and daughters who were “made to disappear” by the Argentine military ruling the country.
