No Name art89 — I thought this to be an extremely powerful book. It was a study of the quote that "absolute power corrupts absolutely." The novel, an historical fiction, follows the career of the dictator, Trujillo, of the Dominican Republic. He was a man of little morals and one so corrupt and demonic, that his ruling sent shivers down the spine of the reader. He entrenched himself as the political leader with the whip of executions and absolute rule. He was denounced by many including the United States and he Catholic Church, but refused categorically to step down. Focusing and weaving a tale within the historical framework, we learn of Trujillo's government and his family. They are all filled with the concepts of self and the leader is diabolical in his ability to read people. People plan his assassination in the hopes that the military would assume control and the country would be rid of "the goat" as he was nicknamed because of his sexual appetites. Llosa builds a compulsive story using a fictional family particularly in the figure of Urania Cabral and her famous father, who was a member of Trujillo's inner circle. Urania's return to the Dominican Republic after thirty years opens up the story and brings us into contact with the Dominican Republic of the late fifties and sixties. Urania has a powerful story to tell of her experiences with her father and the reason for her hatred of him as well as the dictator. Through sets of monologues and talks with her family, Urania relates the happenings of her county as well as the ones that touch her young life. Llosa sets up and maintains the trauma in the environment in which the people lived within this country of fear and retributions. The reader will be "blown away" by the portrayal of Trujillo, the Generalissimo, who while maniacal, holds himself to various obsessions, self discipline, obsessive cleanliness, punctuality, and of course sex. Long though this book is, Llosa presents a man, his family, his government, and his people with tight words and gruesome doings. It was an excellent novel of the workings os political intrigue headed by a monster.
