Three Trapped Tigers,

The story of three friends on a bawdy romp through the nightclubs, music halls, slums and the rest of Havana's underworld in the years before Castro, Cabrera Infante's greatest literary achievement is full of style changes, wordplay and rhythms. Halfway between Borges & Garcia Marquez and Joyce & Kafka on the other. A real delight, which fades in & out of print in English.
