Endurecimiento, escritura y sobrevivencia en Trilogía sucia de La Habana

Abstract

This paper describes the “toughening” process of Pedro Juan, the narratorcharacter of Trilogía sucia de La Habana, and how he eventually became a fiction writer. In order to achieve this, the author analyzes the narrator’s production as a writer: the ten short stories written in third person in Sabor a mí, the last volume of the trilogy. Finally, the author suggests that Trilogía is based on an argument of Gutiérrez’ conception of art and writing.
