Overview

R.M. Koster’s Tinieblas Trilogy, which began with The Prince, a National Book Award finalist, and continued with the cult classic The Dissertation, is one of the landmarks of American literature in the second half of the twentieth century. The first major work of English-language magical realism, the trilogy has been praised by Anthony Burgess and John le Carré, among many others. Mandragon, the final novel, is the darkly uproarious story of a strange and magical creature who toys with both sexes and reads minds, and who transforms the drought-wracked land of Tinieblas.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher


“A remarkable achievement . . . Mandragon, with its corrupt and magical dictators, could have been torn from Garcia Marquez . . . One derives a good deal of pleasure from [Koster’s] country of darkness.” —New York Times Book Review
 
“Funny, weird, surrealistic, fraught with esoteric sexual and religious meanings . . .  Probably the year’s greatest literary achievement.”—St. Louis Dispatch
 
“A born writer . . . Koster loves language and revels in stories . . . He feels human injustice and greed deeply. Unable to see how they can be changed, he ignites them with the fire of comedy.”—Washington Post
