Dieses Buch mag eventuell ausgemachte Hemingwayfreunde begeistern, für mich war die Lektüre doch eher quälend. ( )
  CaptainHaddock | Jan 23, 2009 |
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.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 184195795X, Paperback)

Padura Fuentes — one of Cuba's best-known and most widely acclaimed writers — has written a first-rate detective story set against the backdrop of Hemingway's Cuba. Part fascinating examination of Hemingway the man in his trying final years and part nifty postmodern procedural, Adios Hemingway will engross Hemingway fans while keeping them in suspense until the final pages.
