RaveTimes Literary Supplement (UK)Masterly ... Astonishing revelations are to come ... An illuminating, non-judgemental study of...single-minded ideological zeal.
Alberto Barrera Tyszka, Trans. by Rosalind Harvey and Jessie Mendez Sayer
RaveThe Times Literary Supplement (UK)There is nothing quite like fiction to grasp the true nature of an oppressive regime. Novels allow us to witness the effect of oppression on the day-to-day activities of ordinary people, and on their often failed attempts to enjoy some sort of private life in the face of the regime’s intrusions ... The Last Days of el Comandante is...enthralling...revelatory...with its skilfully wrought atmosphere of suspense and energetic prose, well translated by Rosalind Harvey.
