Three Trapped Tigers

Guillermo Cabrera Infante

A pun-drunk, nocturnal portrait of Havana in 1958, the last months before the revolution, following a handful of night owls, a photographer, a writer, an actor, a bongo player, through the cabarets and bars until dawn. Cabrera Infante maps the real nightlife: the open-air Tropicana cabaret, the neon strip of La Rampa in Vedado, the seawall of the Malecón where the friends drive and talk, and the older boulevard of the Prado. Over it all towers the doomed, magnificent singer La Estrella.
