Sharp, funny, engaging…de Bernieres is doing for Colombia's drug culture what Tom Sharpe did for apartheid. His approach is flippant, but the purpose behind it is deadly serious |
|
Other text | Vibrant, lucid, charged with wild jokes and harrowing scenes smelted with torture…a book which shudders with memorability…satirical and splendid |
