I was interested to hear about this book as I purchased it back in the summer of '97, and took it to a Cafe Rouge, and have pretty much not opened it since, even though I have wanted to. I remember the back sleave had lots of little photographs of Che, which created a lovely kaleidoscopic effect. Anderson sported a beard and glasses on the inside cover. Donnie Brasco was still on my mind, but I have yet to penetrate that book. However, I did read all the stuff in the papers over the summer holiday, about the people who were involved in the lead-up to Guevara's demise. Earlier that year I had appropriated a copy of Zeitung and created a lovely collage of all the Che shots that issue had, sticking them on my bedroom walls. One enduring legacy that remains has to be his incredible perenniality; he just doesn't seem to go out of fashion. His image adorns t-shirts, magazines, adverts and now a film, at a consistently quick rate. For some-one so revolutionary, he has become decidedly classical. Good luck to his memory.
