Description

«Padura ya es el mejor escritor contemporáneo de su país, y uno de los más importantes de Hispanoamérica.» José Manuel Martín Medem, El Mundo

«Un nuevo libro de Padura es una forma de entender la realidad cubana.» The New Yorker

La vida de Rodolfo siempre ha estado marcada por el trauma de la guerra de Angola , pero sobre todo por el asesinato de su padre a manos de su hermano Geni, apodado Caballo Loco. Ahora, recién jubilado, Rodolfo se encuentra con que recobra la intimidad inesperada de su cuñada Nora, viejo amor de juventud , pero también con una noticia inquietante: van a excarcelar a su hermano parricida, aquejado de una enfermedad incurable, y no tiene otro destino que la casa familiar. En esa tensa espera, y durante poco más de una semana, se reavivarán viejos rencores, secretos familiares que creían enterrados , y en especial los detalles del sangriento asesinato que cambió la vida de todos en la familia. Solo la llegada de la hija de Rodolfo, y la intervención de un joven triunfador en una Habana desahuciada, darán el último y desesperado apoyo a Rodolfo.

Un relato dramático, una novela magistral, que cuenta cincuenta años de historia de un país.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Padura is already the best contemporary writer in his country―and one of the most important voices in Latin America." José Manuel Martín Medem, El Mundo

"A new Padura book is a way to understand Cuban reality." The New Yorker

Rodolfo’s life has always been shaped by the trauma of the war in Angola , but even more so by his father’s murder at the hands of his brother Geni, nicknamed Crazy Horse. Now retired, Rodolfo finds himself reconnecting with his sister-in-law Nora, a long-lost love from his youth , but also facing disturbing news: his parricidal brother is being released from prison due to a terminal illness―and he’s headed back to the family home. Over the course of just a week, old grudges and buried family secrets resurface , especially the bloody details of the murder that changed all their lives. Only the arrival of Rodolfo’s daughter and the help of a young rising star in a crumbling Havana offer Rodolfo one last desperate lifeline.

A powerful story, a masterful novel that spans fifty years of a nation’s history.
