Desfila La Habana (Novela) / Havana on Parade (a Novel)


Overview

En Desfila La Habana, Antonio José Ponte mezcla ficción y realidad en una novela inclasificable que convoca a una galería de personalidades alucinantes, reunidas en la antesala de un momento que trastocó las piezas del tablero mundial durante la Guerra Fría. 1958-1959. Nadie sabe exactamente qué está pasando en Cuba, donde un guerrillero llamado Fidel Castro está ganando notoriedad, mientras la capital se ha convertido en el epicentro que reúne a estrellas de cine, espías y mafiosos. Cuando Ian Fleming, el creador de James Bond y responsable de la sección internacional de The Sunday Times, coincide en una fiesta en Londres con el también novelista Norman Lewis --el mejor cronista de la época--, encuentra al candidato ideal para enviarlo a La Habana a investigar de primera fuente a Castro y, de paso, a Ernest Hemingway, quien vive desde hace varios años en la isla envuelto en el misterio y en cuya finca fueron tomadas unas fotografías comprometedoras de la bellísima actriz Ava Gardner, codiciadas por los mafiosos que controlan el submundo de las apuestas y el narcotráfico...

At his estate, compromising photographs of the stunning actress Ava Gardner were taken, coveted by the mobsters who control the underworld of gambling and drug trafficking...
