The Prince is set in a not-so-fictional Latin American country, Tinieblas, where intrigue and military coups occur as often as fruits fall from the trees. Kiki, the son of a twice-ex-president, has inherited his father's thirst for power and the presidency. But to become president of Tinieblas takes a Machiavellian intelligence, for one must outwit not only political foes but the strong American interests. An insightful, furious and funny depiction of 20th-century Latin America, The Prince is an essential novel for readers of historical fiction and magical realism alike.
