Title: A vibrant and terse tour through Havana and Sweden
Product review: If you enjoy Bukowksi, 'Tropical Animal' will not disappoint. Told in the street-wise yet literary voice of Pedro Juan, we are taken from his life in Havana all the way to Sweden and by the end back to Cuba. The story revolves around Pedro Juan's relationships with Gloria (Cuba) and Agneta (Sweden). One relationship is stormy while the other is somewhat bland. A well-told story with some good universal insights about art, love and compianship.I've read other reviewers slight this book because it was 'dirty' or 'shocking' which is ridiculous since the book's literary value is obvious from the first page. You may not always agree with Pedro Juan or his choices, however the story is as truthful as any country's literature and the reader walks away with a deep insight (a touch depressing) into the darker side of Modern Havana.
