Hatful of tigers

by Sergio Ramírez

"Vignettes by the Nicaraguan author and political leader, divided into 'Before' and 'After' the 1979 Sandinista Revolution. Originally published as Estás en Nicaragua (1985), with title taken from Cortázar poem; Cortázar's work and trips to Nicaragua are organizing motifs. Well translated, but no notes to explain names and places to the uninitiated reader; no other locating material"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
