L’insofferenza verso ogni tipo di limitazione porta Reinaldo Arenas alla ricerca di spazi sempre più ampi, come se l’estensione territoriale fosse proporzionale al miglioramento del tenore di vita. Ma tutti i luoghi in cui vive – a Cuba e in esilio – sono sempre percepiti come limitati a causa della mancanza di reale democrazia. Il bisogno frustrato di emancipazione lo porta, pertanto,
a tradurre i concetti di libertà e di Terra promessa in un vagheggiato mito.
From the Countryside to the City, from Havana to the Wider World: Reinaldo Arenas’ Peregrinations in Search of the Promised Land
Intolerance of any type of restriction leads Reinaldo Arenas to search for ever wider spaces, almost as if the territorial extension were proportional to the improvement of lifestyle. Yet all the places where he has lived – in Cuba and in exile – are perceived as limited because of the lack of genuine democracy. The frustrated need for emancipation leads him, therefore, to translate the concepts of freedom and the promised Land into a longed-for myth.
