by Pedro Juan Gutierrez (Author)
The visceral and carnal Pedro Juan Gutiérrez reviews his busy life and his provocative work, his influences and his working methods... Pedro Juan interviews Pedro Juan. The writer makes an agile and exhaustive review of his life and his work in which nothing is left in the pipeline. And, if we talk about Pedro Juan Gutiérrez, life and work intersect and interact until they merge in the trajectory of this author. In these pages he evokes his early first steps as a loving child poet in Matanzas, the discovery of sex and masturbation, life on the streets, his youth in the harshest and most repressive stage of the revolution in the seventies, the beginnings of his career as a radio journalist, his arrival in Havana, his relationships with mature women... He also talks about his concepts of literature: how the writer approached reality, his theory of literature constructed as a maddened reality.
