内容简介

Reading this book is like watching a Komodo dragon eat a tethered goat. Paraguay, the book's subject, is isolated, ignorant, and completely bizarre. Bleak thoughts and observations thread through the book, but this is part of its charm. And so it goes, tale after tale, conquistadores and Nazis, whores and cannibals, all of them rather awful, all of them splendidly rendered.
