Remembering Reinaldo Arenas on his death anniversary (1943-1990)

04/02/2023

April 1 is the 44th year anniversary of the takeover of the Peruvian embassy in Havana; it fueled popular dissatisfaction leading to the Mariel Boatlift weeks later. Q***r writer Reinaldo Arenas was the most notable of the Marielito refugees.

I am at Cayo Hueso (Key West) to formally finished my book publications on Reinaldo Arenas. I am turning in my last book on this crazy writer to the local public library where I researched so much about marielitos who arrived through Key West in 1980, including Arenas.
