A letter from our Library Director
July/August 2015
Mrs. Mary Reid was honored at The Fifteenth Annual Bay Shore–Brightwaters Distinguished Citizen

Before Night Falls by Reinaldo Arenas
Antes que anochezca por Reinaldo Arenas
In his memoir, the author describes how he rose
from poverty, became a supporter of the
revolution, and was part of the literary circle in his
country. He is later imprisoned as a
counterrevolutionary and is exiled to the U.S.
This is a stunning story of how freedom – political,
personal, and artistic - can be taken away in a
totalitarian state, and how the strength of spirit
and mind can help a person survive.
En su autobiografía, Arenas, cuenta como salió de su
pobreza y se convirtió en revolucionario y parte de la
sociedad literaria en su país. Luego fue encarcelado
como contrarrevolucionario e exiliado a los Estados
Unidos. Esta impresionante historia de la libertad
perdida, en todos los aspectos – política, personal,
artística – en un régimen totalitario, demuestra como
la determinación del espíritu e inteligencia ayuda el
individuo a sobrevivir.
