Many of the stories have not previously appeared in English. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is the tender story of a boy who recognizes evil for the first time and decides to ignore it; the tale of a writer struggling between the demands of creativity and of fame; common people dealing with changes brought about by revolution and exile; a romp with a famous, dangerous woman in the Metropolitan Museum; an outrageous fantasy that picks up where Garcia Lorca's famous play \u003ci\u003eThe House of Bernardo Alba\u003c\/i\u003e ends. Told with Arenas's famous wit and humanity, \u003cb\u003eMona\u003c\/b\u003e makes a perfect introduction to this important writer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated from the Spanish by Dolores Koch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reinaldo Arenas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375727306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/30\/2001 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2001 pg. 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/22\/2001 pg. 77","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44232153006195,"sku":"9.78038E+12","price":20.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_45d7691b-6153-4b26-b865-95d0ab9f7af7.jpg?v=1768656753","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/mona-and-other-tales-9780375727306","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
