The permanent frown of etched lines temporarily transformed. ‘‘They appeared right at the height of the período especial,’’ she remarked. These were not mere signs of age or the vain complaints of a woman of a certain age who no longer looked the way she used to, she commented. Instead, ‘‘these cicatrices [scars]’’ were the embodied proof of living through the worst years of Cuba’s economic crisis of the early 1990s.

Looking around suspiciously, she continued in a barely audible tone: ‘‘El Barba’’—she rubbed her chin to indicate the beard of El Comandante, Fidel Castro—‘‘doesn’t like people to tell things the way they are. But I can’t lie. People here are going through a terrible crisis.’’ The crisis had changed everything, she lamented: ‘‘My body is still su√ering from the e√ects of the período especial.

She found out circuitously from a friend who had access to the international media that foreign presses were reporting severe nutritional deficiencies as the cause.∞ Only later did her doctor intimate that this was, indeed, the cause.
