Fiction Family Life
Haunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness,
forty-nine-year-old Urania Cabral returns to her native
Dominican Republic - and finds herself reliving the events
of l961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City and
one old man terrorized a nation of three million. Rafael
Trujillo, the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call
the Goat, controls his inner circle with a combination of
violence and blackmail. In Trujillo's gaudy palace,
treachery and cowardice have become a way of life. But
Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against
him, and a Machiavellian revolution already underway that
will have bloody consequences of its own. In this
'masterpiece of Latin American and world literature, and one
of the finest political novels ever written' (Bookforum),
Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the
birth of a terrible democracy, giving voice to the
historical Trujillo and the victims, both innocent and
complicit, drawn into his deadly orbit.
