Before Night Falls
by
by
A powerful memoir which pulls no punches. Reminiscent of Genet or Burroughs in the combination of the beautiful and the grotesque — the elevation of degradation to the exalted.
Read this a long time ago, probably at the time of the movie version (this edition is the movie tie-in). Sunshine on naked prisoners helps to control pubic lice.
This is a book which made me wish to understand the original language, because if it reads like this in translation, what might the original words convey?
