Description

From the best-selling writer of "Corelli's Mandolin" and "The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts" comes an iridescent jewel of storytelling that's "by converts crazy, magical, and entirely persuasive" ("Washington Post"). A philosophy teacher may be the only resident in his country who dares to postpone his countryis drug mafia. This makes him the item of a national idol and many murder attempts. His recognition, however, doesn't extend to the folks he loves.
