GG—who may or may not be Graham Greene—arrives in Havana in 1955 in search of a good time. He heads to the Shanghai Theatre, and after becoming transfixed by the many sex acts he sees there, he goes backstage to meet Charity, the star of the show. GG falls for her, and the pair spend the night together. But when he returns the following night, he finds, to his horror, a dead body in her dressing room, and finds he's wanted as the culprit. Packed with vacuum salesmen, Cuban intelligence officials, dead bodies, international spies, and the heady nightlife of Havana, Pedro Juan Gutiérrez re-writes Our Man In Havana, lacing the narrative with observations of Greene's work, his sources of inspiration, his desires, and his phobias, in a novel of sex, spies, and literary commentary from the author of the Dirty Havana trilogy.
