«La fiesta del chivo» is the historical novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Alfaguara in hardback (628 pages, in Spanish).
The novel interweaves two moments: Urania Cabral's visit to her father in Santo Domingo and the reconstruction of Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship in 1961, when a conspiracy to overthrow him is brewing. With different narrative voices, Vargas Llosa portrays the authoritarianism, corruption and fear that marked the Dominican Republic.
Work originally published in 2000; belongs to the Biblioteca Vargas Llosa collection.
For readers of historical fiction and political fiction, particularly those interested in the history of the Dominican Republic and the Trujillo regime.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
