Blurb
Arenas's finest comic achievement is also the fulfillment of his life's work, the Pentagonia, a five-volume cycle of autobiographical novels he began writing in his early twenties. Although it is the penultimate installment in his "secret history of Cuba," it was, in fact, the last book Arenas wrote before his death in 1990. A tale of survival by wits and wit, this is ultimately a powerful and passionate story about the triumph of the human spirit over the forces of political and sexual repression.--From publisher description.

Top Secret
Another story of men hiding desire behind masks, though this one trades satire and political danger for a spicy, hopeful campus romance.
Us
Keeps the theme of men whose love must stay secret under outside pressure, though the tone is warm and hopeful rather than satirical.
Once in a Red Moon
Keeps the theme of forbidden bonds under a brutal regime, but swaps literary comedy for a dark, violent shifter romance with a happy turn.
Summer Girl
Shares the sun-soaked seaside setting and summer-of-change mood, only lighter, straightforward romance instead of biting political satire.
Witness Seduction
Also about surveillance, hiding, and desire that endangers you, but plotted as a fast, steamy suspense rather than sprawling autobiographical fiction.
Crown Me Yours
Carries over tyrants, blood, and bodies as battlegrounds of power, though it's fantasy revenge romance with a satisfying ending rather than exile's lament.
