El testimonio en la pentagonía de Reinaldo Arenas Synopsis

Un análisis detallado de la Pentagonía del autor cubano Reinaldo Arenas. An in-depth analysis of Cuban author's Reinaldo Arenas's Pentagony. Este libro presenta un análisis detallado de la Pentagonía de Reinaldo Arenas, que incluye las novelas Celestino antes del alba, El palacio de los blanquísimas mofetas, Otra vez el mar, El color del verano, y El asalto. A través del uso de la ficción, Arenas ofrece un testimonio de la opresión que sufrió en Cuba como escritor homosexual durante los años sesenta y los setenta. Este libro pone de relieve el hecho de que, aunque su trabajo no cumpla con las pautas de la novela testimonial cubana, le da una voz a aquellos que fueron silenciados por el gobierno revolucionario. Los dos primeros capítulos ofrecen una visión general de los géneros literarios relevantes para este estudio, como la autobiografía, la novela autobiográfica y la novela testimonial, así como del contexto socio-histórico de la Pentagonía. Posteriormente, este estudio analiza en detalle cada novela por separado, y ofrece una visión dentagonía en su conjunto. Stéphanie Panichelli-Batalla es profesora titular de español y estudios latinoamericanos en la Universidad de Aston. This book presents an in-depth analysis of Reinaldo Arenas's Pentagony, which includes the novels Singing from the Well, The Palace of the White Skunks, Farewell to the Sea, The Color of Summer, and The Assault. Through the use of fiction, Arenas offersa testimony of the oppression he suffered in Cuba during the sixties and the seventies as a homosexual writer. This book highlights the fact that although his work does not comply with the guidelines of the Cuban documentary novel, it does give a strong voice to those who were silenced by the Revolutionary government. The first two chapters provide an overview of literary genres relevant to this study, such as the autobiography, autobiographical novel anddocumentary novel, as well as the socio-historical context of the novels. Subsequently, this study looks in detail at each novel separately, offering a comprehensive overview of the Pentagony as a whole. Stéphanie Panichelli-Batalla is a Lecturer of Spanish and Latin American Studies at Aston University.
