Summary:
La gran novela póstuma de Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Con esta novela, digna sucesora de Tres tristes tigres y La Habana para un infante difunto, culmina el fresco de novelas en las que Guillermo Cabrera Infante retrató La Habana prerrevolucionaria como solo podía hacerlo un enamorado de la ciudad. La trama cuenta una pasión entre una adolescente arrolladora y un crítico de cine que le saca unos cuantos años, pero el tema no es la corrupción de la inocencia ni mucho menos el abuso del poder. A ritmo de música cubana y con un derroche de referencias cinematográficas, el autor se interna en los recovecos del deseo para relatar un imposible amour fou que halla su contrapunto en un uso gozoso del lenguaje.
The great posthumous novel by Guillermo Cabrera Infante. With this novel, a worthy successor to Tres tristes tigres y La Habana para un infante deceased, the fresco of novels in which Guillermo Cabrera Infante portrayed pre-revolutionary Havana as only a lover of the city could. The plot tells of a passion between an overwhelming teenager and a film critic who takes a few years out of her, but the theme is not the corruption of innocence, much less the abuse of power. To the rhythm of Cuban music and with a riot of cinematographic references, the author delves into the recesses of desire to relate an impossible amour fou that finds its counterpoint in a joyous use of language.
