In addition to significant poetic efforts ("El Central", "Leprosorio") , his Pentagonia is a set of five novels that comprise a "secret history" of post-revolutionary Cuba. It includes Singing from the Well (in Spanish also titled "Celestino before Dawn") , Farewell to the Sea (whose literal translation is "The Sea Once More") , Palace of the White Skunks, the Rabelaisian Color of Summer, and The Assault. In these novels Arenas’ style ranges from a stark realist narrative and high modernist experimental prose to absurd, satiric humor. His second novel, Hallucinations ("El Mundo Alucinante") , rewrites the story of the colonial dissident priest Fray Servando Teresa de Mier. " (from Wikipedia). Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket .
