The idea came from photographer Dante Cosenza, from the newspaper <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Naci\u00f3n<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but I took the opportunity to take a snapshot and, in the meantime, thank the writer in person for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cultura\/literatura\/leonardo-padura-con-cuba-y-con-mi-lengua-a-cuestas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>the interview he had given me via email two years ago<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Padura is a poor reader of poetry and avid for narrative, he says. I could have asked him about his relationship with the literature of this country and his relationship with the country he comes from. He had said interesting phrases, such as that \u201cthe future of Cuba has to go through a conciliation between Cubans,\u201d after referring to what he called \u201cair of conciliation between the two shores,\u201d relative to the time of opening between the United States and Cuba, fostered during the Obama presidency. But the conversation was elementary. He was in a hurry and had given thousands of interviews these days. \u201cSend me an email,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could say something else about what was expressed during the presentation of his latest novel <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personas decentes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0(Tusquets publishers), a story in which the author of books such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Man Who Loved Dogs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Novel of My Life<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> took some pleasure, to say it someway. One was to murder a cultural censor from the 1960s, baptized as Reinaldo Quevedo, \u201cthe abominable.\u201d Many Cuban censors are embodied in him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo: Lez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI said, I\u2019m going to take revenge for all the sons of bitches who persecuted, sullied and humiliated Cuban intellectuals. I\u2019m going to tell you only two names of intellectuals who suffered through that stage: Jos\u00e9 Lezama Lima and Virgilio Pi\u00f1era. Imagine from there on down how many writers, artists, musicians, professors were marginalized.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the \u201ccomplement\u201d or the \u201cdefinitive resolution\u201d of a conflict already planned in his novel <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M\u00e1scaras<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where he reflects that period of persecution and marginalization of Cuban intellectuals; dramatic, traumatic years, which did not completely cease. \u201cI had written it from the point of view of the victims, but I told myself: I\u2019m going to write it from the point of view of the perpetrators.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other pleasure was to make up a character that he had already dealt with as a journalist and whose story has haunted him for many years: the life of the pimp Alberto Yarini y Ponce de Le\u00f3n. \u201cHe has been the most famous pimp in the history of Cuba. I began to grope that story in 1987, when I worked for a newspaper in Havana and published a feature.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this conversation with journalist and writer Hinde Pomeraniec, Padura recounted details such as how \u201cPersonas decentes\u201d was the fourth title, that he had previously thought of \u201cHuracanes tropicales,\u201d \u201cDelirio habanero\u201d and \u201cEpifan\u00eda habanera\u201d; that decency is an \u201cethical judgement\u201d and that \u201cany society is the sum of many individuals, and if many individuals behave decently, in the end they will have a more decent society.\u201d Also, that he wanted to return to the detective genre, because his last Mario Conde books (now in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personas decentes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0a guard in a friend\u2019s restaurant) had been increasingly \u201cmore social, more existential, more philosophical.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the alternate story: \u201cYarini is a very curious character, because he is a pimp, but he had, for example, the most populous burial in the first half of the 20th century. He had political participation, a political discourse. He lived off of women, but at the same time he protected certain women. He was a friend of the blacks of the port.\u2026 A man who comes from an aristocratic family. His father was the most important dentist in Cuba. So much so that the University of Havana School of Dentistry is still called Cirilo Yarini.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other times, there were no direct references to contemporary Cuba. There were no rounds of questions either, just the conversation between Padura and Pomeraniec. Some phrases that could point to reality are said by his character Mario Conde in the novel. \u201cIt\u2019s not fair that we live with more fear than we should,\u201d is one of the phrases in the book that, although in the mouth of his character, Padura has used this time. And arguing about the 1970s and the meaning of a system that conditions people to the point of turning them into informers, he pointed out: \u201cwe can be afraid of pain, afraid of death, afraid of lions, afraid of frogs, but not other fears that society provokes in us, and I believe that many people moved and continue to move out of fear.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFortunately, there is a slight change in policy in the 1980s and my generation benefitted from that. In the 1990s something happens, and it is that a distance is created between the creators and the institutions in Cuba; a distance that has been maintained and that we have taken advantage of as a space of freedom. Because institutions stop responding to the possibility of concretizing the work of writers and artists, and that created a space of freedom. And it has been maintained and has grown, fortunately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Topics that, in some way, this book deals with and were commented on:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1: decency and happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2: the politically correct: \u201cI get along very badly with the politically correct; I don\u2019t know here, but in Spain you have to specify gender when speaking, because you have to seek equality for women in language; but a woman in Spain earns less money than a man for the same job.\u201d \u201cImagine, it is being commented that in the editions of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tom Sawyer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by Mark Twain, the word nigger disappears and is changed to Afro-American. It looks very nice, but that is terribly dangerous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3: The Rolling Stones in Cuba: the fact of seeing them live after years in which a generation was prohibited from listening to that and other music. The forbidden and its repercussions for an individual. The novel begins with a sentence, he read: \u201cToo late.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4: the rapprochement of Cuba and the United States: It was a \u201cspecial time in the recent history of Cuba. There was a moment of euphoria. It seemed that things could change. People opened small restaurants, hostels&#8230;there were academic, religious, sports exchanges and that society was moving. It was, in the end, a parenthesis. Then Trump came and changed Obama\u2019s policies, who changed his policies towards Cuba not because he was especially good with Cuba, but because he realized that with a change in policy, he could change things in Cuba. I believe that, effectively, it could have changed things. With Trump, the usual entrenchment returned, the cold war language, sanctions, an increased blockade, which is real, because there are many people who say that the blockade is a pretext of the Cuban government. It may be used as a pretext, but it is real.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leonardo Padura, who has won the Princess of Asturias Award and the National Literature Award in Cuba, turned 67 on the plane that brought him to Buenos Aires, the city he first arrived in, he said, in 1994. For a book fair, he proposed one of his works to the director of the Planeta publishing house, the conglomerate to which his publishing house belongs today. He replied: \u201cCuban detective novels, no.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also says that the same book (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pasado perfecto<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) had been published in Mexico and not in Cuba, as a writer with his due authorization was then entitled, which is why \u201can Argentine man who lived in Cuba and who had an official bureaucratic position, who was like a kind of de facto representative of all Cuban writers, told him: you know you can\u2019t do that. This time we\u2019ll forgive you, but don\u2019t do it again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leonardo Padura considers himself to be very generational, he believes that his generation is the best the island has ever had. Padura has a friend who, when he meets him, always blurts out the same phrase: \u201cDamn it, what an ending we\u2019ve had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Buenos Aires he presented his most recent book: \u201cPersonas decentes.\u201d This Thursday he spoke at the National Library with journalist and writer Hinde Pomeraniec.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":467,"featured_media":258915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13902],"tags":[4674,4533],"ppma_author":[33583],"class_list":["post-258911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cuba","tag-cuban-literature","tag-leonardo-padura-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Padura in the Borges room: \u201cIt\u2019s not fair that we live with more fear than we should\u201d | OnCubaNews English<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Leonardo Padura: \u201cIt\u2019s not fair that we live with more fear than we should\u201d.
