Habana Dura (novela)
En “Habana Dura” de una botella lo mismo sale ron, que un amante, que un enemigo, que un embarazo, que la aventura más excitante y emotiva de la vida. Escrita con el tono erótico y poético que caracteriza a Jocy Medina, la novela relata la historia de María, una joven de holguinera que queriendo hacerse mujer huye a La Habana, una ciudad donde sólo a golpe de amor, rabia, ron, sexo y mucha picardía, se sobrevive.
En sus escenas vivirás ambas caras del turismo sexual en Cuba y explorarás el lado más oscuro de los hombres. Conocerás jineteras, violadores, chismosos, chivatones y como si los vivos no fueran suficientes, conocerás hasta los muertos de la isla. Más que una novela, “Habana Dura” es un viaje a Cuba en los años 90, a la Cuba real que viven los cubanos y leyéndola sentirás que te corre a Cuba hecha letra por las venas.
