The Feast of the GoatRafael Trujillo, the depraved, ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat, controls his inner circle (including Urania’s father, a secretary of state now in disgrace) with a combination of violence and blackmail. In this magisterial and long-awaited novel, Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the terrible birth of a democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and to the victims, both innocent and complicit, who were drawn into his deadly orbit. |
