Translated from the Spanish by Donald Yates. 170 pages. hardcover. keywords: Latin America Argentina Literature Translated Mystery. DESCRIPTION - In this exceptional book-an attempt at what Jorge Luis Borges has called 'the pure detective story' - one of the greatest writers of Latin American letters is introduced to American readers for the first time. The book's opening gambit is a stunning one: a dictator is assassinated in public, but it is soon revealed that the murdered man was a double. The real leader had been killed the night before. On the surface the question is: did the assassin know that he was after the wrong man? But later events seem to distort all sense of logic and reality, until in the final moment the circuitous routes of the labyrinth seem to straighten into a short and too inevitable line. 'I do not hesitate to declare that Manuel Peyrou is one of the first storytellers of Hispanic letters.' - Jorge Luis Borges from the introduction to the book. inventory #25303 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. …
