{"product_id":"adios-hemingway","title":"Adios Hemingway","description":"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.\nWhen the skeletal remains of a man brought down by two buckshots forty years earlier surface on the Havana estate of Ernest Hemingway, writer, drinker, and ex-cop Mario Conte reluctantly accepts a reinstatement to investigate. As the truth of the night of October 3, 1958, slowly reveals itself, Conte must come to terms with his idealistic memory of Papa Hemingway on Cuba’s sun-drenched docks from when he was a child tagging along with his grandfather.\nPadura Fuentes weaves Conte’s world with that of Hemingway’s Cuba four decades earlier, a period marking the beginning of Hemingway’s decline. In the heat-and-rum haze, the eras and personas begin to merge in this evocative, compelling novel.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 184195795X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.184195795X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fuentes, Leonardo Padura|King, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
