They forged the signature of God

by Viriato Sención

"Los que falsificaron la firma de Dios (1992), a chilling picture of internal politics in the Dominican Republic, became that country's best-selling ever work of fiction. Tracing the lives of three seminarians persecuted by Church and state, allegory and gallows humor portray political power gone awry. A lively translation, but no introduction"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
