From Library Journal:

The award-winning Cabrera Infante is considered one of the most outstanding of the new generation of Cuban writers in exile. This work can be seen as a sequel to his Tres tristes tigres and La Habana para un infante difunto, with their recurring themes of 1950s Havana nightlife. Here, the narrator recounts the monotony of life with his pregnant wife and the erotic and fulfilling affair with his lover, who aborts his child. Filled with humor and pathos, as well as a certain cynicism, this tale is fully entertaining.?Jose M. Fornes
