About the book
"Welcome to Sagrado Dios, whose history we enter in 1944 with a miracle, the beaching of a lost Nazi U-Boat, and the murder of its captain, mistaken for a devil by the inhabitants of a fishing-village." "This is the precursor to a wild, luxurious assault on the senses. Here is a fictional history blended with elements of magic, sex, comedy and bizarre violence, woven into stories gathered by a mad professor exiled to his library where he is compiling a history of the novel, in a country where the genre has been banned by the church for the last three centuries." "Bigsby guides us through journeys down impossible rivers by young men in search of love, encounters with fabulous beasts, dyspeptic dictators, mad generals and impossibly lovely Indian girls, and introduces us in his prose to a land whose history is inextricably bound up with its myths."--BOOK JACKET.
