ARENAS, Reinaldo. Termina el desfile. Barcelona: Seix Barral, 1981. Octavo, 174pp. First edition thus, adding the title story to the contents of the collection published without authorization in Uruguay in 1972, Con los ojos cerrados. The present early short fiction won Arenas an honorable mention in the Writers' Union Competition in 1968, but his work was banned soon afterward. He managed to have two copies of the manuscript smuggled out of Cuba, the one which was eventually published by Angel Rama in Uruguay became the seed of intense contention when Arenas discovered its existence only twelve years later in New York. The present text might be called the "first authorized edition." This copy inscribed by Arenas to fellow writer-in-exile Jaime Manrique, "con amor y admiracion, su amigo y lector, Reinaldo Arenas. 1985, New York."

ARENAS, Reinaldo. El portero. Miami, FL: Ediciones Universal, 1990. Octavo, 157pp. First edition of this novel written in exile by the great Cuban author, among the major writers of the Americas in his generation. A near fine copy in publisher's illustrated wrappers. Inscribed by Arenas, warmly and at some length in the year of publication, to his friend, fellow hispanic writer in exile, Jaime Manrique. Manrique has written an eloquent appreciation of Arenas in Emminent Maricones. Manrique has made one marginal comment, "New York." A scarce title.
