Although this work is powerful in itself, it also makes me realize (likely, sadly, as with many North Americans) how ill-informed I am regarding the social and political history of South America. Point taken.
So, if you have any appreciation of Latin American and/or simply great literature read this book (or anything by Carlos Fuentes). ( )
