The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman by Louis De Bernieres
With the same ebullient storytelling, luxuriant prose, and irrepressible eroticism he brought to The War of Don Emmanuel s Nether Parts and Se or Vivo and the Coca Lord, Louis de Berni res continues his chronicle of Cochadebajo, the Andean village where macho philosophers, defrocked priests, and reformed (though hardly inactive) prostitutes cohabit in cheerful anarchy. But this unruly utopia is imperiled when the demon-harried Cardinal Guzman decides to inaugurate a new Inquisition, with Cochadebajo as its ultimate target.On his side, the Cardinal has an army of fanatics who are all too willing to destroy bodies in order to save souls. The Cochadebajeros have precious little ammunition, unless you count chef Dolores's incendiary Chicken of a True Man, and a civil defense that deems nothing more crucial than the act of love. Part epic, part farce, The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman confirms de Berni res's reputation as England's answer to Gabriel Garc a M rquez.
Louis de Bernieres is the author of, among other novels, The Dust That Falls From Dreams, A Partisan's Daughter, Birds Without Wings, Corelli's Mandolin, The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman, Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord, and The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts. Selected by Granta as one of the 20 Best Young British Novelists in 1993, de Bernieres lives in London.
