The article focuses on Cuban novelist, Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Infante was a great writer. The humor, word play, fantasy and a stubborn nostalgia for a city that perhaps never existed are the principal ingredients in the work of Infante. No modern writer in Cuban literature, except some of them, has been able to create an urban mythology of such strength and color as this Cuban writer has done. Some of his notable books which are also published in English, are "Writes of Passage" and "Three Trapped Tigers."
