The setting for this iridescent gem of storytelling by the
bestselling author of Corelli's Mandolin and The War of Don
Emmanuel's Nether Parts is an unnamed South American country where
the rule of law has given way to the rule of the lawless and the
laws of magic.
The young philosophy professor Dionisio Vivo is the only citizen
who dares denounce his country's cocaine mafia. This makes him the
object of several assassination attempts, as well as a national
hero when the attempts on his life backfire with a regularity that
is either farcical or supernatural. But Senor Vivo's immunity does
not extend to the people he loves. Only Louis de Bernieres could so
deftly manage the ensuing escalation from a macabre comedy to a
wrenching tragedy of revenge. Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord is a
work that engages on every level, delighting with its outsized
characters and enchanting with its luminous prose.
