Summary: Valenzuela's Argentina is terror personified
Review: This novel is amazing- a deeply disturbing often sadist romp into the netherworld of post-Peronist Argentina where a derranged minister of Juan Peron's second wife (not Evita) runs the show and choke-holds the Argentinian people with his "powers" and his psychosis. Very trippy- fun, in a sick, sick way. Expert craftsmanship and exciting narrative voice. Buy it and read it right away- then pass it on to a friend who can handle it.
