Signed by Author to title page.
Urania Cabral, a New York attorney, returns to her native Dominican Republic after a decades-old absence, only to find herself reliving events she would rather forget. Author's thirteenth novel, set towards the end of dictator Rafael Trujillo's reign – the 'goat' of the title. In Vargas Llosa's words, "It's a novel, not a history book, so I took many, many liberties. I have respected the basic facts, but I have changed and deformed many things in order to make the story more persuasive – and I have not exaggerated."
Basis for the 2005 film by Luis Llosa, starring Tomas Milian, Isabella Rossellini and Juan Diego Botto. Recipient of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature. Winner of the 1994 Cervantes Prize, and the 1995 Jerusalem Prize. "The Feast of the Goat will stand out as the great emblematic novel of Latin America's twentieth century and removes One Hundred Years of Solitude of that title." TLS
