Autobiography: Carlota
Caulfield (Written for
Gale Research Contemporary Authors Autobiography Series, Volume
25, 1996, xerox copy of 19 pages with photos, $4 plus $2 shipping

From the opening:
"If a journey is a metaphor for life and writing, I began
my movements in the Cardona Clinic, Havana, Cuba (where I was
born under the sign of Capricorn on a sunny January 16 in the
Chinese year of the Dragon). I have never returned to my point
of departure and am uncertain whether or not I have a destination.
Like Sterne's protagonist in Tristram Shandy, I consider my autobiography
a journey and you, traveler, may accompany me on it."
