1975. The cusp of Argentina's Dirty War. The magnate, Fausto
Tamerlan, has been kidnapped by guerrillas, who as part of their
ransom demands have stipulated the placement of a bust of Eva Peron
in all ninety-two offices of Argentina's leading construction
company, Tamerlan & Sons. Tamerlan's head of procurement,
Ernesto Marrone, is the man tasked with the job, but he soon finds
out that his is a mission for executives of a heroic disposition.
His subsequent picaresque journey plunges him into a world of
occupied factories, the slums of Buenos Aires and the utopian Evita
City. Equipped with his trusty copy of Don Quixote: The
Executive-Errant, Marrone is a modern knight who finds himself
forced to penetrate the ultimate Argentinian mystery: Eva Peron -
that maid of myth and legend whom we know as Evita. A stand-alone
novel in its own right but also a prequel to his first novel, The
Islands (And Other Stories, 2012), Carlos Gamerro's caustic and
utterly original novel is a shattered window onto Argentina's
recent past.
