| It was the year 1961. The Dominican Republic was suffering from economic sanctions; the Catholic Church was inciting its clergy against the government; the country, from its highest ranks down, was gripped by a bone-chilling fear. In The Feast of the Goat, Vargas Llosa unflinchingly tells the story of the last days of a regime and the uncertain efforts of the men who would replace it. His narrative moves between the rituals of the hated dictator Rafael Trujillo’s daily routine and the lurking of the assassins who would kill him, their initial triumph and the shock of the release of fear – and replacements. The final chapters of the novel tell the story of Urania Cabral, a self-imposed exile whose father was Trujillo’s cowardly secretary of state. Drawn back to her birthplace 30 years after Trujillo’s assassination, her story reveals the growing reach of the dictator’s cruelty and finds an enraptured audience among her extended family.
In The Feast of the Goat, Vargas Llosa weighs the burden of a corrupt and corrupting regime on the people who live under it. It is a moving portrait of an unrepentant dictator and the unwilling citizens drawn into his orbit. |
