«Delito por bailar el chachachá» is a short story collection by Guillermo Cabrera Infante, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (128 pages).
Three stories that start from a common scene: a man and a woman having lunch in a Havana restaurant on a rainy Friday. With their dialogues and thoughts as the thread, Cabrera Infante recreates romantic relationships and portrays the island at different historical moments, with irony and nostalgia. The bolero, the chachachá and Cuban music run through stories that play with memory and repetition.
The work was initially published in 1995; the present Punto de Lectura edition is from 2000.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante was a Cuban novelist, essayist, translator, screenwriter, and critic; in the 1950s he used the pseudonym G. Caín, and used Guillermo Cain for the screenplay of the cult classic film Vanishing Point (1971).
