I read this book (a gift from my best friend) while I was writing my own dissertation in psychology. It was my first foray into "magical realism." It provided much-need perspective and escape. Wildly original. Outrageously, laugh-out-loud-snorting funny. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"The second book in R.M. Koster's highly acclaimed Tinieblas trilogy (following The Prince), The Dissertation is the story of--and a story by--Camilo Fuertes. To fulfill his Ph.D. requirement, Fuertes decides to write about his father, the martyred president of Tinieblas, a country in Latin America. We follow Leon as he winds his twisted path through delinquency, learning, bravery, and incest to the presidency. At once a powerful vision of Latin American history and a brilliant parody of the academic form--complete with endnotes!--The Dissertation is an essential postmodern novel in the tradition of Vonnegut, Barth and Nabokov, ready to be embraced by a new generation of readers"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
