Requirements: ePUB, MOBI or PDF Reader | 10.3 Mb
Overview: R(ichard) M(orton) Koster is an American novelist best known for the Tinieblas trilogy—The Prince (1972), The Dissertation (1975), Mandragon (1979)—set in an imaginary Central American republic much like Panama, the author’s home for many years. He is the author, besides, of two other novels, Carmichael’s Dog (1992) and Glass Mountain (2001), and (with Panamanian man of letters Guillermo Sánchez Borbón), of In the Time of the Tyrants (1990), a history of the Torrijos-Noriega dictatorship. Koster’s approach in the trilogy is post-modern magical realism, reminiscent of García Márquez in its sometimes fantastical content.
Genre: Fiction, General
The Prince: This National Book Award nominee takes us to a not-so-mythical Latin Americancountry where intrigue, violence, and military coups occur as often as takinga breath.
The Dissertation: The second book in R.M. Koster’s highly acclaimed Tinieblas trilogy (following The Prince), The Dissertation is the story of–and a story by–Camilo Fuertes. To fulfill his Ph.D. requirement, Fuertes decides to write about his father, the martyred president of Tinieblas, a country in Latin America. We follow Leon as he winds his twisted path through delinquency, learning, bravery, and incest to the presidency. At once a powerful vision of Latin American history and a brilliant parody of the academic form–complete with endnotes!–The Dissertation is an essential postmodern novel in the tradition of Vonnegut, Barth and Nabokov, ready to be embraced by a new generation of readers.
Mandragon: Mandragon is a bawdy tale full of the blackest of humor. The Mandragon is a hermaphrodite, a creature who toys with both sexes; a magician, who reads people’s minds and makes both people and objects obey his will; a seer, who travels into the future; and a prophet who brings his tribe back to his home country, Tinieblas, to cure the drought-wracked land.
