Publisher Notes
First published in 1987, Rushdie's astonishing portrait of this tiny volcanic country shows readers the true Nicaragua never quite grasped or revealed in the headlines. Brilliant and haunting this profile of the people, politics, land, and poetry of Nicaragua fully demonstrates novelist Rushdie's prowess as a discerning political journalist.
Media Reviews
"Salman Rushdie's extraordinary book...is a masterpiece of sympathetic yet critical reporting graced with his marvelous wit, quietly assertive style, odd and yet always revealing experiences....To say of 'The Jaguar Smile' that it is a work of art is to take full note of its literary allusions, its uncompromising sensitivity to death and destruction, its ready political eye for the funny and grotesque, and above all its understated and gripping eloquence."
