Club Protocol Release: The Feast of the Goat KINDLE MOBI by Mario Vargas Llosa H.A.

Nobel Prize Winner Mario Vargas Llosa takes us to the Dominican Republic in this novel of revolution, chaos, brutality and healing. Departing from his usual male protagonist, Feast of the Goat introduces us to a 49 year old woman, Urania Cabral, who, haunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness, returns to her native Dominican Republic. Once back in her native country Urania begins reliving the events of 1961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City, named for Rafael Trujillo the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat. Trujillo, mad with power and poisoned by his own brutality, 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.
