The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts by Louis De Bernieres
This rambunctious first novel by the author of the bestselling Corelli's Mandolin is set in an impoverished, violent, yet ravishingly beautiful country somewhere in South America. When the haughty Dona Constanza decides to divert a river to fill her swimming pool, the consequences are at once tragic, heroic, and outrageously funny. Walks a precarious edge between slapstick and pathos, never once losing its balance.--Washington Post Book World.The Battle of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts (Commonwealth Writers Award, Best First Book Eurasia Region, 1991), Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord (Commonwealth Writers Prize, Best Book Eurasia Region, 1992), and Cardinal Guzman's Troublesome Offspring (Commonwealth Writers Prize, Best Book Eurasia Region, 1992) are among Louis de Bernieres' works. The London-based author was named one of the twenty Best of Young British Novelists in 1993.
