² For concision, I have trimmed and reordered Gramsci's note.

³ Author of Alligator Pie (Lee [1974] 2014), a book that has shaped my life indelibly.

⁴ Interestingly, Galeano has since renounced the book as an example of the “extremely leaden” prose of “the traditional left” (Rohter 2014). His renunciation, if a bit sad, made me feel a lot less guilty for thinking that way all these years. I always wished Open Veins really was written in “the style of a novel about love or pirates.” For that, we had to wait for his Memory of Fire trilogy.
