Kehua! (2010)
“Beverley at thirty-five One Saturday Winter came back with a lot of gear from a camping shop and the famous army surplus store called Laurence Corner, and said he was on his way to Bolivia to join Che Guevara in the bitter fight against the imperialist lackeys. Beverley managed to get hold of Joey in Moscow and Joey only laughed.
‘Yes,’ he said. ‘I know, they contacted me and asked for a reference for poor Winter, can you believe it? But those 26th July people have really got it organised. ...I wrote back saying: “Good on enthusiasm, poor on brains”. They must have taken him on.
Nothing I can do. Make sure he leaves a will.’ Beverley could have worked harder at dissuading Winter but she didn’t. She didn’t quite send him off to war, but almost. Like the brake cable she’d almost cut all the way through, but not quite. Winter was shot and killed in the jungle within days of arriving in Bolivia, by quite whose side it was never made clear, nor in what circumstances.MoreLess
