2.Men of Maize: The Modernist Epic of the Guatemalan Indians (Pittsburgh Editions of Latin American Literature)Men of Maize: The Modernist Epic of the Guatemalan Indians (Pittsburgh Editions of Latin American Literature)
from University of Pittsburgh Press

Customer Review:
Asturias writes like no one I have ever read before, but what irked me was the constant dependency on the back of the book for keys as to what anything meant. Much of it comes from the legends of the Mayan culture which I'm sure most people don't know concisely enough to know parts of the Mayan... more info

3.[no image]Mulata
from Avon Books

Customer Review:

from Santillana USA Publishing Company
Price: $8.95

Customer Review:
The reason that I picked up this reading is that I was told that this was an excellent portrayal of Latin American dictators. In terms of content and substance, I don't know if it is accurate. However, from the aesthetic point of view, the book is full of disgusting images and negativity that wastes... more info
