625: CARLOS EIRE: Confessions of a Wayward Historian
Professional historians aren’t expected to write about their own lives. Nor are they expected to offer proofs for the existence of God, not even in jest. Yale professor Eire, however, briefly put his research aside to write a childhood memoir that inserts God in the narrative. The result, the 2003 National Book Award-winning Waiting for Snow in Havana, is a book unlike any ever written by an eyewitness to the Cuban Revolution. What caused this historian of late medieval and early modern Europe to turn his attention to his own past?
