El dictador, los demonios y otras crónicas

These reports, published in The New Yorker magazine and compiled for Anagrama, bring together characters and political landscapes from Spain and Latin America. Through these pages parade King Juan Carlos, Augusto Pinochet before Judge Baltasar Garzón, a spectacular Hugo Chávez in a Venezuela of contrasts, the decrepit Fidel Castro in a Cuba with no satisfactory exit for anyone, García Márquez as a brilliant conspirator in the Colombian powder keg, the remains of Federico García Lorca in a tug of war between the political and the sentimental, and the Brazilian favelas, where the strange mystique of crime flourishes.
