In the brutality of his honesty, Mr. Gutierrez reminds one of Jean Genet and Charles Bukowski. -New York TimesDirty 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 Juans unsentimental, mocking, yet sympathetic eye captures a shocking underbelly of todays Cuba.Banned in Cuba but celebrated throughout the Spanish speaking world, Gutierrezs picaresque novel is a fierce, loving tribute to Havana and the defiant, desperate way of life that flourishes amid its decay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51675231846688,"sku":"NEW0060006897","price":18.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WAXbrcm6L.jpg?v=1779208421","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/dirty-havana-trilogy-a-novel-in-stories-0060006897","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
