The Gods, the Little Guys, and the Police
Description:... "Once a week, every week for ten years, members of the Polimnia Club have met to read and recite poetry. They are as apolitical, innocent, and innocuous as their verse. But they live in Beunos Aires in the mid-1970s, during the worst of Argentina's "dirty war." Because of that, and because a jealous wife wants to punish her wandering husband, and because the gods are meddling in the affairs of mortals . . . they have all been marked for Death. This novel by a brilliant Argentinian satirist, dares to expose with devastating wit the political terror, brutal repressiveness, and irrational violence that characterizes life in a dictatorship."--Goodreads
