London. 1986. Chatto & Windus. 1st British Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0701139501. Translated from the Spanish by Irene Del Corral. 117 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by John Clementson. keywords: Literature Translated Mexico Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-THE UNEXPURGATED MEMOIRS OF A TRUTHFUL MAN. Major General Lupe Arroyo prided himself on being a man of integrity. Not above stealing or killing or extortion or betrayal. But truthful about it, because all he did was for the glory of the revolution (or, when necessary, to save his own neck). The year is 1928; the country is Mexico; and the revolution about to take place becomes, in the general's account, an uproarious farce of allegiances changing paces as fast as musical chairs, of battles won by bumbling, of power grabbed at any cost. But as his tale begins to reflect an unmistakable reality, our laughter at Jorge Ibarguengoitia's masterful mock epic suddenly catches in the throat-for this is political truth that penetrates our heart with the sureness of a stiletto. TRANSLATED BY IRENE DEL CORRAL. inventory #15407.
