The Feast of the Goat (2000/2001) Signed First Edition Reference

La fiesta del Chivo (Alfaguara, 2000; English: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2001, translated by Edith Grossman) is Vargas Llosa’s most commercially successful late novel — a three-stranded narrative about the final days of Rafael Trujillo, the Dominican dictator. The novel combines the dictator’s last hours, the assassination plot, and a woman’s return to the Dominican Republic thirty-five years later, creating a devastating portrait of how tyranny deforms every human relationship it touches.
