Synopsis "La Habana Para Un Infante Difunto / Infante's Inferno (in Spanish)"

La gran novela sobre Cuba y La Habana. «Éste es mi recuerdo inaugural de La Habana: ir subiendo unas escaleras con escalones de mármol. A medio camino entre la autobiografía y la ficción, en La Habana para un Infante Difunto un joven escritor recuerda su niñez y adolescencia en Cuba, desde su nacimiento en Oriente hasta su despertar sexual y sus vivencias en la ciudad de La Habana en la década de los cincuenta, antes del inicio de la etapa castrista. En esta novela magistral, la nostalgia por la ciudad perdida se combina con un erotismo libérrimo y las marcas características de la literatura de Cabrera Infante, que le han consagrado como uno de los principales creadores en español del siglo XX: el dominio del lenguaje propio de un prestidigitador, la prosa exuberante, el ritmo musical y un deslumbrante sentido del humor. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Hidden behind a cloak of exotic mystery, Cuba is virtually unknown to American citizens. G. Cabrera Infante--in Infante's Inferno and several of his other novels--allows readers to peek behind the curtain surrounding this island and see the vibrant life that existed there before Fidel Castro's regime. Detailing the sexual education and adventures of the author, Infante's Inferno is a lush, erotic, funny book that provides readers with insight into what it was like to grow up in pre-revolutionary Havana. Viewing every girl as a potential lover, and the movies as a place both for entertainment and potential sexual escapades, Cabrera Infante captures the adolescent male mindset with a great deal of fun and self-consciousness. With his hallmark of puns and wordplay Cabrera Infante has hilariously updated the Don Juan myth in a tropical setting.
