The Insatiable Spider Man by Pedro Gutierrez

The Insatiable Spider Man

Pedro Gutierrez

Can be read as individual short stories or as the third installment in the life a macho 50-something. Pedro is now more worried about his sex drive than about politics, but the portraits of ordinary Cubans remain as vividly real as ever and the style as ironically funny.

Extract
The best thing now would be if Julia could get me worked up and I could get a hard-on smelling her armpits. A good poke is like a sedative. You come and that's it. You sleep like a baby. But no. I can hear her snoring disgustingly. She's like a lorry driver dammit.
