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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Mona and Other Tales | Reinaldo Arenas | Paperback | 9780375727306 | Used: Like New | Fiction 1695315 (temp: 10)","offer_id":48310675472536,"sku":"1695315","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51oNCKhdvBL.jpg?v=1773155223","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/mona-and-other-tales","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
