Title: revolution and (dis)ease
Product review: Andres Rivera -born Buenos Aires 1928-, was a textile worker before becoming a successful novelist awarded with the most remarkable literary prizes in Argentina.In THE REVOLUTION IS AN ETERNAL DREAM he tells the story of the the 1810 revolutionary Juan Jose Castelli, who was affected by tongue cancer. The revolutionary turmoil in the country is corresponded in the convulsive account by the diseased first-person narrator, resulting in a Conflict between the full-bloodied passionate prose (the novel starts "I write: my tongue is rotting with tumour"(mt) and the spartan absence of rhetoric. Most Rivera's novels are centered on the subject of the numerous Argentinian revolutions, and should suit anybody interested in understanding this nation's complex and vibrant history.
