Description
Before Night Falls tells the story of Reinaldo Arenas' life, from his early years in rural Cuba to his rise as one of Cuba's most important poets and leading gay voices of the 20th century.
Arenas recounts his experiences as a young rebel fighting for the Revolution, his struggles as a writer under suppression, and his disillusionment with Castro's regime. He also describes his imprisonment and torture, and his eventual exile to New York, where he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987.
Tragically, Arenas' life ended in suicide just four years later, bringing an end to a life marked by constant struggle against repression. This powerful memoir is a testament to the enduring power of art and the human spirit.
