THE TROUBLESOME OFFSPRING OF CARDINAL GUZMAN

London: Secker & Warburg, 1992. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in black cloth over boards with silver spine lettering in a fine dust jacket. Author's third book and the final volume in his Latin American trilogy. The main action of the story takes place in the small town of Cochadebajo de los Gatos, where the characters of the previous books have settled. As in the previous two books, affectionate character portraits of the townsfolk make up a large part of the novel. Other parts of the novel take place in the capital city of the fictional nation, in the clubs of the corrupt military commanders, and the palace of the distracted, amoral president.
