A Great Writer Mourns the Land of His Birth,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Requiem Por un Pais Perdido / Requiem for a Country in Agony (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
The Argentine-born Martinez is one of the greatest and least appreciated of modern Latin American writers. This is a collection of his essays from the dark days of the `90s, when, after a few years of recovery from its dictatorship years, his country fell into a decade of political and economic corruption that was to spiral into economic and governmental disaster. Martinez calls this "The flight from Democracy" and spares no one in his critiques, not even institutional futbol nor the arrogance and self-promotion of his country-people. The pieces are elegant and mostly short and simple--accessible to those with moderate reading knowledge of Spanish.
