«La danza de los siete velos» is the novel by Tom Robbins, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (439 pages, in Spanish).
An Arab and a Jew open a restaurant opposite the United Nations headquarters in New York, where a dancer performing the dance of the seven veils becomes the main attraction. On this premise, Tom Robbins builds a shameless satire on racism, power, desire and religion, with his characteristic acid wit and a boundless imagination.
The 1992 Spanish edition belongs to the P&J Literaria collection from Plaza & Janés and falls within contemporary fiction.
For readers who enjoy social satire, corrosive humour and magical realism, with a touch of irony comparable to Kurt Vonnegut.
