Reinaldo Arenas finished this autobiography days before his death in New York in 1990. The work reviews his childhood in rural Cuba, his youth in the underworld of Havana and his exile, and describes the persecution he suffered as a writer, homosexual and dissident in Castro's Cuba.
This edition is number 55 of the Tusquets Maxi collection. The work was originally published in 1992; this edition is from 1996.
Aimed at those seeking memoirs and testimonies about Castro's Cuba, exile and sexual and political dissent.
Reinaldo Arenas was a Cuban poet, novelist, and playwright who is known as a vocal critic of Fidel Castro, the Cuban Revolution, and the Cuban government. His memoir of the Cuban dissident movement and of being a political prisoner, Before Night Falls, was dictated after his escape to the United States during the 1980 Mariel boatlift and published posthumously. Arenas, who was dying of AIDS, killed himself in 1990.
