Llosa's Works: the Festival of the Ram
About This Novel
Why did Urania return to the land she vowed never to set foot again after thirty-five years of absence from her motherland? Why has she been filled with fear since she was fourteen? Why did she never visit and greet her father? Facing her aunt's questioning, Urania slowly recounted the painful memories of more than thirty years ago, the intricate political conspiracies, and the secret that ruined her life... Llosa used realistic writing and a three-line narrative structure to describe Urania's recollections of the past, how Trujillo, the dictator of the Dominican Republic, started his day and a breathtaking assassination, revealing the mysterious relationship between dictatorship, power, corruption and sex. Among the "100 Best Spanish Novels from 1982 to 2007" selected in 2007, "Festival of the Rams" ranked second, second only to García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera".
