"With Three Trapped Tigers Cabrera Infante enters the front rank of Latin American novelists. The book belongs with Cortazar's Hopscotch, Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, and Donoso's The Obscure Bird of Night." --New York Review of Books
FROM SUSAN SONTAG: "It now seems utterly extraordinary that anyone can write brilliant prose in more than one language; we marvel at a Nabokov, a Beckett, a Cabrera Infante."
FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: "A writer to be reckoned with...raw, powerful, and unique."
FROM TIME: "It is clear that TTT can stand on the same shelf with Gabriel Garcia Marquez's very dissimilar One Hundred Years of Solitude, and the provocative obscurities of Jorge Luis Borges."
FROM THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS: "With Three Trapped Tigers he entered the front rank of Latin American novelists. The book belongs with Cortazar's Hopscotch, Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and Donoso's The Obscure Bird of Night."
FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES: "A remarkable book."
