Reinaldo Arenas was a Cuban author who started writing books in the 1960s, many of which were banned in Cuba due to their controversial content. His books were read avidly around the world and he had a cult following in countries such as Canada, France, Mexico and the United States. Arenas wrote about topics such as political repression, gay rights, freedom of expression and life under dictator Fidel Castro's rule. His books often touched on larger themes relating to power and oppression, but with a lot of humor too. Many consider Arenas one of the most important authors from Latin America.
