What he discovered was overwhelming: a culture of masks with bullet holes in their foreheads, and of heroes who turned into covered markets. (Sandino himself turned himself into his hat.) He was haunted by ghosts, engulfed by poets, lectured on Tagore. He saw a computer that had been murdered by the Contra, and ran across an imaginary dog that could eat real books. "The Jaguar Smile" is about power, powerlessness, beauty, blood, death. It's about the Nicaragua behind the headlines, about the fixing of beauty contests, and about a pair of disembodied, bloodied jaws from which Rushdie, in a nightmare, had to run for his life' (Quote taken from the back cover). ***First impression of the true first UK edition, published as a paperback original, in nice bright condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
