«Tres tristes tigres» is the novel by Cuban writer Guillermo Cabrera Infante, published by Seix Barral in hardcover (445 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recreates the nocturnal atmospheres of 1958 Havana, with its cabarets, musicians and popular characters, through a mosaic of voices. The language, full of wordplay and Cuban humor, is the true protagonist, turning the work into a narrative experiment linked to the Latin American «boom».
The novel was originally published in 1967, after winning the Biblioteca Breve Prize in 1964. This 1984 edition is part of the Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea collection (volume 59).
For readers of literary fiction interested in 20th-century Latin American literature and experimentation with language.
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).
