«Mi hermano el alcalde» is the satirical novel by Fernando Vallejo, published by Alfaguara in paperback (178 pages, in Spanish).
In Támesis, a Colombian town lost in the mountains, everyone wants to be happy at any price. The narrator's brother is the mayor, and the narrator, skeptical, witnesses the clash of those aspirations and the town's collapse amid lies, betrayals and an electoral scheme with dead people voting. A corrosive satire of democracy and the dreamed paradise.
Originally published on April 1, 2004.
For readers of contemporary Hispanic American fiction who appreciate political satire and acid humor.
Fernando Vallejo Rendón is a Colombian-born novelist, filmmaker and essayist. He obtained Mexican citizenship in 2007.
