Seller's Description:
New York. 1991. June 1991. Grove Weidenfeld. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0802111092. Translated from the Spanish by Dolores M. Koch. 193 pages. hardcover. Cover: Bascove. keywords: Literature Translated Cuba Latin America Caribbean. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Reinaido Arenas is the most widely read, most highly acclaimed writer of Cuba's post-revolutionary generation. For his earlier works, such as SINGING FROM THE WELL (which he wrote when he was twenty-three) and Old Rosa, Arenas was praised as a prodigious, explosive talent. THE DOORMAN, his first work set in the United States, breaks new ground with the extraordinary and tragic story of Juan, a young Cuban refugee who becomes a doorman at a luxury apartment building in Manhattan. In his impeccable uniform, Juan opens the door fix a variety of characters, among them the Supreme Pastor of the Church of Love of Christ Through Friendly and Constant Contact; a young woman hell-bent on suicide (with whom Juan is secretly in love); an advocate of the totally prosthetic body; a pair of nearly identical gay lovers both named Oscar Times (but known as Oscar Times One and Oscar Times Evo); and a host of others whom Juan zealously endeavors to show ‘the true door to happiness? ' He fails miserably, but his own life takes a sudden turn when the tenants' pets-including a bear, a rattlesnake, an orangutan, golden fish, cats, dogs, and so on-begin to talk to him. Not only do the animals talk to Juan, but they are in fact determined to recruit him to their cause: a revolt against humans and human society, and a mass flight to liberty. Fantastic, satirical, dizzyingly inventive, THE DOORMAN is a bittersweet parable about freedom and community, told with a profound sense of humanity. inventory #6596.
