Should we kill the Mandarin?,
This review is from: Killing the Mandarin (Paperback)
Killing the Mandarin is a complex tapestry of a novel. It takes place in the oppressive heat of Montevevideo in 1969. Alonso weaves strands of decadence, political intrigue, and romance into the story of a revolution. In this rich narrative he poses the question of whether the ends (however socially redeeming) ever justify the means. I was swept up in pondering this eternal question. Well worth the read.Ragdoll
