«Antes que anochezca» is the autobiography of Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas, published in 1994 by RBA in hardback (343 pages, in Spanish).
Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas reviews his poor childhood in rural Cuba, his adolescence as a rebel in the Castro revolution, and his life as a dissident homosexual, persecuted by the regime and imprisoned before going into exile in the United States and falling ill with AIDS in New York.
The edition is part of the Narrativa Actual collection, Spanish-Language Authors series, and corresponds to number 51 of that series.
For readers of Cuban literature and memoirs by dissident writers, and for those seeking a testimony of political repression in Cuba.
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.
