Loading... Adios Hemingwayby Leonardo Padura Fuentes
None.   tonynetone | Nov 5, 2010 |  Former Havana police inspector Mario Conde is persuaded to assist in the investigation when a body is found buried on the property of Finca Vigia, Ernest Hemingway’s former home. Conde searches for the truth about what kind of person Hemingway was while he tries to identify the victim and establish the facts of his death. Fictionalized scenes of Hemingway in 1958 and a pair of Ava Gardner’s panties play a prominent role. As in all of Padura’s Mario Conde novels the mystery is enhanced by Conde’s observations on life in Cuba and the complexities of friendship and love. (  ) Hagelstein | Sep 3, 2010 |
 Flashing back and forth between 1958 and the present, ''Adiós Hemingway'' is an elegantly turned meditation on the cold realities of age, the waning of strength and beauty and the production of literary myth. There is also — lest the theme should grow too weighty — some dexterous symbolic work with a pair of Ava Gardner's knickers.
