Overview

From Leonardo Paduraā€”whose crime novels featuring Detective Mario Conde form the basis of Netflixā€™s Four Seasons in Havanaā€”The Transparency of Time sees the Cuban investigator pursuing a mystery spanning centuries of occult history.

Mario Conde is facing down his sixtieth birthday. What does he have to show for his decades on the planet? A failing body, a slower mind, and a decrepit country, in which both the ideals and failures of the Cuban Revolution are being swept away in favor of a new and newly cosmopolitan worship of money.

Rescue comes in the form of a new case: an old Marxist turned flamboyant practitioner of SanterĆ­a appears on the scene to engage Conde to track down a stolen statue of the Virgen de Reglaā€”a black Madonna. This sets Conde on a quest that spans twenty-first century Havana as well as the distant past, as he delves as far back as the Crusades in an attempt to uncover the true provenance of the statue.

Through vignettes from the life of a Catalan peasant named Antoni Barral, who appears throughout history in different guisesā€”as a shepherd during the Spanish Civil War, as vassal to a feudal lordā€”we trace the Madonna to present-day Cuba. With Barral serving as Condeā€™s alter ego, unstuck in time, and Conde serving as the authorā€™s, we are treated to a panorama of history, and reminded of the impossibility of ever remaining on its sidelines, no matter how obscure we may think our places in the action.

Equal parts The Name of the Rose and The Maltese Falcon, The Transparency of Time cements Leonardo Paduraā€™s position as the preeminent literary crime writer of our time.
