The Nanny and the Iceberg by Ariel Dorfman
Conceived the night of Che Guevara s burial in 1967, Gabriel McKenzie is inextricably bound up in the history and politics of his native Chile. Twenty-four years on, and still a virgin, Gabriel returns from Manhattan exile to confront his legacy: a Don Juan father and a country preparing for the 500th anniversary of America s discovery . Into Gabriel s quest for manhood and identity enter one iceberg, a faithful if eccentric nanny and a whole host of fantastical characters. Rabelaisian, picaresque and erotic, this is a tour de force from one of Latin America s foremost writers.
Ariel Dorfman, born in Argentina in 1942, is a Chilean citizen who was forced into exile after the 1973 coup that overthrew Salvador Allende. Author of several novels, short stories, essays and plays including the internationally acclaimed Death and the Maiden, and the novels Widows and Konfidenz, he now lives in North Carolina.
