Trivia / Open Veins of Latin America

• Creator Backlash: Galeano disowned the book in 2014 on the claims of having written it with outdated views and info. He clarified he didn't repent writing it outright, but considered it something he had left behind.
  "Time passed, I started discovering other things, getting closer to human reality in general and political economy in particular. Open Veins attempted to be a book on political economy, but I didn't have the required preparation. [...] I could not read this book again, I would pass out. For me, this traditional left-wing prose is terrible. I could not endure it, I would have to be hospitalized".
