“I know what you want to hear, doctor, but I'm sorry, you're not going to pry some sordid confession out of me.”
Barbara Mujica, Frida

“They gave him a commission to paint a mural at the National Palace, and he accepted it, which made the communists think he was two-faced. They were—you know, purists, and they saw Diego as a traitor and an opportunist. He knew they were going to throw him out, so you know what he did? He went to a Party meeting with a big pistol in his hand. He covered it with a bandanna and put it on a table, then, in an elaborate speech, he accused himself of collaborating with the bourgeois government and officially expelled himself from the Party. He paused, looked around, and waited to see who was spluttering with rage and who was peeing in disbelief and who was as paralyzed as a polecat that just got bit”
Bárbara Mujica, Frida: A Novel
