Book summarySalman Rushdie's portrait of Nicaragua, written after his trip there in 1986, reveals the hidden heart of a tiny, beleaguered country. 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." |
