Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Luisa Valenzuela explores the terrain where love and violence, erotic pleasure and death, exist perilously close to each other... Valenzuela plays with words, turns them inside out, weaves them into sensuous webs (Village Voice)

Luisa Valenzuela's books reflect our present, but they also contain much of our future: there is true light, true love, true freedom in every one of her pages (Julio Cort?zar)

Luisa Valenzuela is the heiress of Latin American fiction. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are naked (Carlos Fuentes)

Reseña del editor:

A woman returns to her homeland, a Latin American country that has just returned to democratic rule. A friend suggests she recuperate from her journey at a local country club. Soon after arriving, she realizes the club overlooks the training grounds of soldiers plotting to bring back military rule. A comedy of manners in which the military jump in and out of the kingsize bed faster than you can say coup. This is Luisa Valenzuela at her best ? ironic, political commentary laced with sex and humour.
