Un apasionante libro de memorias noveladas de Guillermo Cabrera Infante, que recrea toda la efervescencia de su juventud en Cuba

En estas memorias comenzadas nada más exiliarse de Cuba, Guillermo Cabrera Infante describe con lujo de detalles su juventud en la efervescente isla de fines de los años cincuenta y principios de los sesenta. La Habana, el cine, el sexo, la música y la llegada de la Revolución conviven en un relato de fondo gozoso, aunque teñido por el dolor de la distancia. Proyecto inacabado a la muerte del autor y en cierto modo inacabable, Cuerpos divinos vuelve sobre los temas claves de Cabrera Infante, pero les añade el fervor testimonial de quien aspira a recordarlo todo para impedir que su mundo privado caiga en el olvido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Guillermo Cabrera Infante's passionate fictionalized memoir, recreating all the vibrancy of his younger years in Cuba.

In a memoir he began right after being exiled from Cuba, Guillermo Cabrera Infante details his youth on the fizzing island in the late fifties and early sixties. Havana, movies, sex, music, the coming of the Revolution, it all coexists in a story with joyful backgrounds, even if tainted by the pain of such remoteness. An incomplete project up to the author's death, and somewhat endless, Heavenly Bodies retakes the key subjects in Cabrera Infante's work, adding the testimonial earnestness of someone aiming to remember so his private world doesn't fall into oblivion.
