Tower of Glass by Ivan Angelo
The five interlocking stories in 'The Tower of Glass' create a single, powerful account of a nation in turmoil. Through symbolism, wry humour, and sexual frankness, the author tells of businessmen and whores, poor working people and death squads, truth and illusion, and political manipulation and terror.
"Angelo's fiction is some of the most vivid and thoughtful to have come out of Latin America in recent years.. It forces us to think about human responsibility, and also about power and its abuse. The Tower of Glass is exciting as suspense, but also as argument. The five stories interlock to some degree, as Angelo teases us with puzzles and connections which slowly build up into larger patterns."--Times Literary Supplement
