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.
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...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.(展开)
第一本略萨；what a novel! 一边大手笔讲了一个那么多蔓生枝节的故事，史实背景都悄无声息地融在中间，一边竟也对人心把握得入木三分，从诸位刺客到Trujillo，又尤其爆炸之后Roman和Balaguer的对比。Urania这个虚构角色又完美补上了刺杀故事中所缺少的维度。故事中太多黑暗、太多寒凉，一边看得发抖，一边也黑洞一样被吸进去、被故事卷着走，不能自拔。

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。
