		Guillermo Cabrera Infante published his masterful Delito por bailar el chachachá in 1995, a deceptively simple book consisting of three tales, all variations of one another.
		Cabrera Infante is manipulating human dramas in order to show us how he produces art; his real interest is in creating illusion by means of language.
		Cabrera Infante’s punning, digressive style demands space, so this trio of tales is an antithesis to the novel the author has been writing for years, “Cuerpos divinos” (Divine bodies), and still hasn’t finished.

		This is just one example of Cabrera Infante's ability to evoke a Cuban Revolution that seems a deadly parody of any rhyme or reason.

		Born in 1929 in provincial Gibrara to parents who were backers of Batista and founders of Cuba's communist movement, Infante's first position of importance was as editor of the literary supplement of Revolución, the state newspaper.
		In the wake of that scandal, Infante was publicly censured by Castro and subsequently forbidden to publish; as an alternative to a lifetime of native silence, Infante—whose family was very well connected to the communist elite—was instead sent to Brussels in 1962 as Cuba's cultural attaché.
		Infante spent time in Madrid, then left for London; he soon took British citizenship, vowing not to return to Cuba until Castro left power.
