Novela postuma de Reinaldo Arenas, revisada la edicion por el escritor cubano Carlos Victoria a quien Reinaldo dejo encargado de este trabajo.

Es pleno verano y en la isla de Cuba comienza el gran carnaval que festeja los cincuenta anos en el poder de Fifo, dictador ya viejo y enloquecido. Con agilidad y sarcasmo, en un relato lleno de divertidos guinos al lector, el escritor cubano Reinaldo Arenas (Holguin, 1943-Nueva York, 1990) describe los actos desaforados que se han programado en homenaje al tirano, y tambien la vida subterranea de una juventud desgarrada, erotizadaA pero que se niega a aceptar la prision en que se ha convertido la isla. Los atropellos y luchas de los que se arriman al poder, la represion, las triquinuelas para sobrevivir en la miseria, todo estalla durante la gran fiesta, y se desencadenan los deseos mas desinhibidos, los rencores, las intrigas y el miedo. Porque, entre burlas y veras, El color del verano, novela testimonial, narra el horror y la imposibilidad de acceder a un futuro mejor. El autor, enfermo de Sida, se suicido en Nueva York y dejo una carta haciendo responsable de su muerte a Fidel Castro, por las desgracias de su vida, su enfermedad y suicidio.

Posthumous novel by Reinaldo Arenas, revised edition by Cuban writer Carlos Victoria, whom Reinaldo left in charge of this work.

It is midsummer and the great carnival begins on the island of Cuba that celebrates fifty years in power of Fifo, an old and mad dictator. With agility and sarcasm, in a story full of funny winks to the reader, the Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas (Holguin, 1943-New York, 1990) describes the outrageous acts that have been programmed in homage to the tyrant, and also the underground life of a youth torn apart, eroticizedA but refusing to accept the prison that the island has become. The outrages and struggles of those who are close to power, repression, tricks to survive in misery, everything explodes during the great party, and the most uninhibited desires, resentments, intrigues and fear are unleashed. Because, between ridicule and you will see, El color del verano, a testimonial novel, narrates the horror and the impossibility of accessing a better future. The author, sick with AIDS, committed suicide in New York and left a letter making Fidel Castro responsible for his death, due to the misfortunes of his life, his illness and suicide.
