About this listen

"... in the movie (and the novel) To Kill a Mockingbird, the father's character, Atticus Finch, tells his children that they can shoot all kinds of birds, but never a mockingbird, because the mockingbird does not harm anything dedicating himself to singing. Based on that anecdote, Osvaldo Calixto Amador recreates his life in Killing a Cockroach. This memoir is marked by the Cuban Revolution, exile, the discovery of his homosexuality, the devastation of AIDS ...and the search for self-love and artistic expression.
Intense and full of emotion, this autobiography of a man and an artist will captivate the reader with its message of hope, improvement, and celebration of existence despite all obstacles. A vivid book..."
