«Termina el desfile» is a short story collection by Reinaldo Arenas, published by Seix Barral in paperback (174 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two books of stories about revolutionary Cuba: a peasant nicknamed «La Vieja Rosa», a man who sees stars, a writer exiled in Miami, and Bernarda Alba's daughters discovering pleasure. The tone blends humor, nostalgia and social criticism, closing with a writer's monologue caught between hatred and nostalgia.
First edition of 1981, in the Nueva Narrativa Hispánica series.
For readers of Cuban and Latin American fiction interested in stories with political and social undertones.
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.
