Description

London: Faber and Faber, 2001 First published, 1998. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. "Dirty Havana Trilogy tells the story of Pedro Juan, an ex-radio journalist who wanders from one odd job to the next, half-disgusted and half-fascinated by his predicament. Working as a garbage-man, dealing on the black market, selling marijuana, and hustling lady tourists off the streets, Pedro Juan throws himself wholeheartedly into the pleasures of the flesh in his squalid surroundings: drink, sex and more sex. A visceral and unforgettable picaresque, a damning portrait of vice and poverty, and an insane journey into the condemned soul of a sexual deviant, Dirty Havana Trilogy is a Tropic of Cancer for these times. / Pedro Juan Gutiérrez began his working life at the age of eleven, as an ice-cream vendor and newsboy. The author of several published works of poetry, he lives in Havana. He has written three novels for Faber - Dirty Havana Trilogy, Tropical Animal and The Insatiable Spiderman, published in 2005." - Publisher.. 4th printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
