Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. First Bard Printing, September 1985. Translated by Donald Gardner and Suzanne Jill Levine in collaboration with the author. Bright, clean & tight mass-market paperback, unread, in FINE condition. "Provocative portrait of Havana in the 1950s by one of Latin America's most important writers." [] "'Showtime! Tropicana! The most fabulous nightclub in the world presents its latest show. Curtains up!' So begins a magical, marvelous journey into a Havana on the brink of revolution, a carnival excursion into the nightclubs, the strip joints, barras, and cantinas of an erotic city pulsing with songs and rumbas, sex and revolution, tragedy and bawdy, outrageous comedy. But even more, THREE TRAPPED TIGERS is a daringly innovative work that transforms language into a living, breathing vehicle of remarkable creation." [publisher copy] "A modernist text with all stops pulled, its roots in Sterne, Carroll, Joyce and, most of all, Hollywood. The narrative is like a Marx Brothers comedy."--The Village Voice. "Wonderful exuberance, humor and inventiveness. The nonsense of Lewis Carroll with the bawdiness of Joyce."--Washington Post Book World. "THREE TRAPPED TIGERS can stand on the same shelf with Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and the provocative obscurities of Jorge Luis Borges."--Time. Pristine MM paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Cover illustration features driver in classic convertible looming over Havana movie theater at night. Paper has slight age-toning, not bad for a 38-year-old Avon paperback. Quite presentable.…
