Nevertheless, at 34, Arkin has established himself as a major theatrical talent. In his Broadway debut in Enter Laughing, he played an acting student, crippled with a plethora of fright sweat and a dearth of talent. The performance earned him a Tony Award.

Some errors in transcription were almost inevitable: Che's handwriting was a tiny, jerky scrawl and, in the course of his tortuous marches through Bolivia's rough terrain, parts of the text had been blotted out by sweat and rain...
