Feast of the Innocents Author: Evelio Rosero
ISBN: 9781848662322 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 288 Published: 8 March 2016 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.7 x 13.0 x 1.8 Description: Doctor Justo Pastor Proceso Lopez, adored by his female patients but despised by his wife and daughters, has a burning ambition: to prove to the world that the myth of Simon Bolivar, El Libertador, is a sham and a scandal. In Pasto, south Colombia, where the good doctor plies his trade, the Feast Day of the Holy Innocents is dawning. A day for pranks, jokes and soakings ...Water bombs, poisoned empanaditas, ground glass in the hog roast - anything goes.
What better day to commission a float for The Black and White Carnival that will explode the myth of El Libertador once and for all?

At the frenzied peak of the festivities, drunk on a river of arguardiente, Doctor Justo will discover that this year the joke might just be on him.
