Jane Jakeman talks with Leonardo Padura, whose “prize-winning series of novels about Cuban detective Inspector Mario Conde has changed the face of Latin American crime writing.”
“During his visit to London, I ask Padura, a man of warm and lively empathy, whether he and Conde are one and the same. He explains that Conde is a pair of spectacles through which he can observe Havana.” – from “Leonardo Padura’s Revolution in Crime,” by Jane Jakeman, The Independent
