The image of the 'implicit author' projected in the fictional universes of Reinaldo Arenas' literary works is distinctively dual in nature. The texts written in Cuba, when the author suffered ostracism and prosecution by the Castro regime, construct the image of a boundless, irreverent, marginal, humorous, tragic, homosexual Arenas.

The author's literary image is therefore constructed around the concept of political and sexual dissidence.
