When obscure English journalist George Greene is mistaken for the renowned novelist Graham Greene during a 1955 visit to Havana, he makes no attempt at all to correct the mistaken assumption. Au contraire.
So the real Graham Greene is somewhat surprised to learn that he and ‘Superman’, a porno performer with an outsized organ, have been arrested for murder in a sleazy sex club in Havana’s red light district, and hurries to Cuba to set the record straight.
Packed with prostitutes, spies and Neo-Nazis, the book is an alternate but parallel version of Our Man in Havana – only funnier, lewder and more audacious!

Leggero, fuori dello stile solido e forte di Gutierrez, però ironico ed intrigante, anche per una forma di spiazzamento del punto di vista "prevedibile" e di alcuni luoghi comuni (soprattutto un po' datati) su Cuba e sulla letteratura spionistica. Senza nulla togliere a Graham Greene, naturalmente.
