Political Editorial Review

The Dirty Havana Trilogy is a collection of stories narrated by a white Cuban man that provide a close-up look at contemporary Havana. While some readers found the book vivid, gritty, and informative, others criticized it for its graphic sexual content and explicit details of the protagonist's sexual encounters. A few readers were disappointed with the slow pace of the story and its apparent lack of purpose. The book is recommended for those who are interested in learning about the lives of ordinary Cubans and are not easily offended by explicit sexual scenes. Some readers suggested that the storytelling was lost in translation and that the book was better read in its original Spanish version. **
