Tristes Tigres by
Guillermo Cabrera Infante
$29.44 Paperback,
477
pgs (Dec
1998)
Planeta Pub Corp; Dimensions
(in inches):
1.24 x 8.31 x
5.20
The book grabs
the reader on page one and takes him on a linguistic roller-coaster,
a mental labyrinth, and a chaos of events at once discrete but
united, as music might be both cacophonous and melodious. And all of
this with Havana's nightlife as the backdrop. Don't look for a plot:
there is none. But what there is is a rendering of words and
language in a format never before seen, nor seen since. Cabrera-Infante's
work will confuse; entertain; at times it may even bore you, but in its entirety you can see the man's
genius. |
