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 aos 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 narcotráficoENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn Desfila La Habana, Antonio José Ponte blends fiction and reality in an unclassifiable novel that gathers a gallery of astonishing personalities, set on the eve of a moment that reshaped the global chessboard during the Cold War.1958-1959. No one knows exactly what is happening in Cuba, where a guerrilla fighter named Fidel Castro is gaining notoriety, while Havana has become the epicenter that brings together movie stars, spies, and mobsters. When Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond and head of the international section of The Sunday Times, meets fellow novelist Norman Lewis-the finest chronicler of the era-at a party in London, he finds the perfect candidate to send to Havana to investigate Castro firsthand and, at the same time, Ernest Hemingway, who has lived on the island for years surrounded by mystery. 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
