Singing from the Well | Reinaldo Arenas

I‘m in the midst of reading two other books that are fantasy-based stories, each about a child. I decided to choose another book at random to read about something else. Well, guess what?! This novel is about a child whose life is so tough, he often lives in a fantasy world!!

When the film adaptation of "Before Night Falls" was released in 2000, I was in a Latin American fiction frenzy. Upon finishing "Singing From the Well," Arenas became a favorite. During the following year I read all of his translated works. Through Arenas I became acquainted with other Cuban writers. Many of them have left a lasting impression.
