Synopsis
The second book in R.M. Koster's highly-acclaimed Tinieblas trilogy - originally published by WW Norton in the 1970s and brought back into print by The Overlook Press - is the story of Camilo Fuertes, who decides to fulfil his Ph.D. requirement by writing about his father, the martyred president of Tinieblas. At once a powerful vision of Latin American history and a brilliant parody of the academic form - complete with endnotes! - The Dissertation is an essential postmodern novel in the tradition of Vonnegut, Barth and Nabokov.
