«Guide to the Perfect Latin American Idiot» is the essay by Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, Carlos Alberto Montaner and Álvaro Vargas Llosa, in hardcover.
Three Latin American writers dissect with irony the figure of the 'perfect idiot': myths, historical errors and self-deceptions that, according to them, have hampered the region's development. A cultural and sociopolitical critique with a mordant tone.
First title in the «Idiota» series; translation by Michaela Lajda Ames and introduction by Mario Vargas Llosa. Original work: «Manual del perfecto idiota latinoamericano».
For readers interested in the history, politics and cultural criticism of Latin America.
Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza is a Colombian journalist, writer, and diplomat. Mendoza was named in honour to the Roman authors Pliny the Younger and Apuleius.
