The
insatiable spiderman
Pedro Juan Gutiérrez
Other editions:
Dirty
Havana Trilogy was hugely acclaimed for its honest depiction
of a Cuban capital characterised by sleaze, sex, poverty and
hedonism. In The Insatiable Spiderman we see the
return of its anti-hero, who is again prowling the streets
of Havana. Pedro Juan's relationship with his wife, Julia,
is in terminal decline. He can no longer face kissing her
on the mouth and the trappings of domestic bliss hold no charms
for this most restless and predatory of men. Our narrator's
interests lie elsewhere: in the infinite possibilities of
a chaotic Caribbean city and the many chancers, artists and
prostitutes who roam the streets in search of fresh experience.
In his inimitably uncompromising and exhilarating style, Pedro
Juan Gutiérrez again takes the reader on a journey
into the underbelly of contemporary Havana - a world of easy
sex, hard drinking and humorous anecdote that will be all
too recognisable to the Gutiérrez connoisseur.
