Fiction Family Life
In a remote Andean village, three men have disappeared.
Peruvian Army corporal Lituma and his deputy Tomás have been
dispatched to investigate, and to guard the town from the
Shining Path guerrillas they assume are responsible. But the
townspeople do not trust the officers, and they have their
own ideas about what forces claimed the bodies of the
missing men. To pass the time, and to cope with their
homesickness, Tomás entertains Lituma nightly with the
sensuous, surreal tale of his precarious love affair with a
wayward prostitute. His stories are intermingled with the
ongoing mystery of the missing men. Death in the Andes is an atmospheric suspense story and a
political allegory, a panoramic view of contemporary Peru
from one of the world's great novelists.
