This small tome is also an elegy of sorts; it was written, says the publisher, \"so that the soul of [Cuban writer] Reinaldo Arenas, who committed suicide in the United States, may reach eternal peace.\" Robaina, who refers to his late friend as l énfant terrible of Cuban literature, offers a fascinating combination of heartfelt reminiscences, gossip, musings, letters, article excerpts, and interviews, this book draws attention to the many stages of Arenas' life, including his literary production; his outlook on life, work, and pleasure; his relationships in Cuba and abroad; his exile; and his subsequent battle with AIDS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Riera,Tomas Fernandez Robaina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541279433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541279438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Dennis Riera","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459444748543,"sku":"9781541279438","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02e69458-83ef-4e19-80ce-2d386c6e87b9.jpg?v=1777409732","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mass-for-an-angel-dennis-riera-9781541279438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
