«La Habana para un infante difunto» is the novel by Guillermo Cabrera Infante, published by Seix Barral in hardcover (510 pages, in Spanish).
Halfway between autobiography and fiction, a young man recalls his childhood and adolescence in Cuba. The narrator composes a museum of women, between nostalgia and eroticism, to reconstruct lost Havana. Satire, humor and comedy mark his sexual awakening and the memory of a city.
This edition belongs to the Biblioteca El Mundo collection and includes a prologue by J.J. Armas Marcelo.
For readers of 20th-century Cuban narrative, interested in fictionalized memory and eroticism.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante was a Cuban novelist, essayist, translator, screenwriter, and critic; in the 1950s he used the pseudonym G. Caín, and used Guillermo Cain for the screenplay of the cult classic film Vanishing Point (1971).
