Reseña del libro "dirty havana trilogy (en Inglés)"
"A lewd, impious and brilliant novel of contemporary Cuba. In the brutality of his honesty, Mr. Gutierrez reminds one of Jean Genet and Charles Bukowski." --New York Times Dirty Havana Trilogy chronicles the misadventures of Pedro Juan, a former journalist now living hand to mouth in and around Cuba, half disgusted and half fascinated by the depths to which he has sunk. Collecting garbage, peddling marijuana or black-market produce, clearing undesirables off the streets, whoring himself, begging, sacrificing to the santos, Pedro Juan scrapes by under the shadow of hunger--all the while surviving through the escapist pursuit of sex. Pedro Juan's unsentimental, mocking, yet sympathetic eye captures a shocking underbelly of today's Cuba. Banned in Cuba but celebrated throughout the Spanish speaking world, Gutierrez's picaresque novel is a fierce, loving tribute to Havana and the defiant, desperate way of life that flourishes amid its decay.
