The astonishing memoir by visionary Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas "is a book above all about being free," said The New York Review of Books--sexually, politically, artistically. Arenas recounts a stunning odyssey from his poverty-stricken childhood in rural Cuba and his adolescence as a rebel fighting for Castro, through his suppression as a writer, imprisonment as a homosexual, his flight from Cuba via the Mariel boat lift, and his subsequent life and the events leading to his death in New York. In what The Miami Herald calls his "deathbed ode to eroticism," Arenas breaks through the code of secrecy and silence that protects the privileged in a state where homosexuality is a political crime. Recorded in simple, straightforward prose, Before Night Falls is the true story of the Kafkaesque life and world re-created in the author's acclaimed novels"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Arenas, Reinaldo, $d 1943-1990. 650 0 $a Authors, Cuban $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay authors $z Cuba $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Koch, Dolores M. $q (Dolores Mercedes), $d 1928-2009, $e translator. 700 1 $a Manrique, Jaime, $d 1949- $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 2 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020153.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602013549.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ACD1A302586511EA978CCE3397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
