Everyone feels helpless sometimes, but when you read to Pedro Juan Gutierrez has the impression that he is the last Mohican every day. His alter ego in Trilogy Dirty Havana is a lonely, burned by a vital inevitable boredom, a survivor every night out to find how little he needed: a little food, a drink of rum, a snuff and a woman.
first thing that comes to mind when one opens Dirty Havana Trilogy Bukowski is the aftertaste, but a little you read carefully, you will notice that there is only the vague reminiscence. Juan Pedro's characters are more desperate, stuck in the morass that only makes the disappointment. Pedro Juan is closer to Carver, including Onetti. And their stories are, of course, more packaging that sometimes disjointed pages of Bukowski.
grasslands where their lives are consumed by the sparkling streets of Centro Habana. These women live there that when they have no weight will be riders to the Malecon, the black cock to teach tourists and careerists who buy anything with the hopes of selling a few hours and gain some weight in the transaction. Amid the bustle and sordid life, one can get lost and found many times as necessary, in a few hours to live different lives that are basically the same life.
But nothing is free in Pedro Juan. Their stories are built on the sleaze, yes, but not a sordid morbid nor capricious. Is the squalor of his own existence, as a background noise emitted by the city itself in the unbridled play of life and death in the urban jungle. Through this sex which is expressed intercourse as a permanent and fatal, Peter John speaks of love, fear, hopelessness, loneliness and purpose in life.
