 Dirty Havana Trilogy Natasha Wimmer (Translator) • Pedro Juan Gutierrez LITERATURE • 2002 • PAPER • 392 PAGES
A semi-autobiographical novel portraying a decrepitly sensual Havana. In Gutierrez's interconnected stories, the protagonist Pedro Juan, an ex-journalist, scours the lowest rungs of Cuban society to make a living, from prostitution to the black market and drugs. Natasha Wimmer's excellent translation captures the no-nonsense, streetwise language of the Spanish original.
