Haunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness, forty-nine-year-old Urania Cabral returns to her native Dominican Republic - and finds herself reliving the events of l961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City and one old man terrorized a nation of three million. Rafael Trujillo, the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat, controls his inner circle with a combination of violence and blackmail. In Trujillo's gaudy palace, treachery and cowardice have become a way of life. But Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against him, and a Machiavellian revolution already underway that will have bloody consequences of its own. In this 'masterpiece of Latin American and world literature, and one of the finest political novels ever written' ("Bookforum"), Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the birth of a terrible democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and the victims, both innocent and complicit, drawn into his deadly orbit.

读后感

这是略萨先生从一本传记中发展出来的小说，主角特鲁希略确有其人，他是多米尼加前国父，把持多米尼加政权三十多年，称得上南美政治舞台上的风云人物。同时又是一个独裁者，一个道貌岸然的挂勋章者，一个能利用灵巧的铁腕把一个国家变成自己的私人游艇的人；一个擅于利用爱国主...  

1、再次证明好的小说家必须具备扎实的叙事能力。 2、讲故事越来越成为一种技巧。正如苏珊桑塔格得到的那个评价，她的思维方式是可模仿的。那么，本书的叙述方式也是可模仿的叙事方式。 3、写这样的小说，必须具备坚韧不拔的长跑精神。 4、证明加勒比地区的小说，并非只有魔幻一...  

分头进行叙事的方式 一个并不复杂的故事 我却看得有一点陶醉 与情爱笔记有大不同 只是我依然看到影子 那些熟悉的影子—— 性暗示，抑或只是热带里的潮骚 或许是略萨那激情的头脑短路了一下 不过 我却看到了 别的东西  

被遮蔽的痛苦 周鸣之 曾听过一个论调，说人在受苦时所能受到的最高级别的安慰，莫过于建议他/她将自身的痛苦还原到历史中去，毕竟我们如今所能承受的苦难形式，先人们都多多少少地领受过了——本来么，痛苦这种决定于基因的东西，很难跳脱出什么新意。尽管如此，我对此论调仍...

It's so heavy that it took me almost a month to finish. A moving attempt to rescue the eternal feminine, the female body that is deemed the condition of possibility for politics and thus rendered mute, without normalizing or merely making it into a symbol of totalitarianism. Llosa is indeed a first-class novelist.

El Jefe。独裁者和inner circle众生相。人民、trujillista和anti-trujillista是有点虚化的背景，历史往往如此。
