«Reunión tumultuosa» is the satirical novel by Tom Sharpe, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (228 pages, in Spanish).
In South Africa, Miss Hazelstone kills her Zulu cook in a crime of passion. Grotesque policemen arrive: a commander who longs to be an English gentleman, a lieutenant who hunts communists, and a corporal in favor of shooting. Misunderstandings and excesses lead to an outrageous outcome; a fierce satire of colonialism and conventions.
First installment of the Piemburg series and the author's first novel, originally published as «Riotous Assembly». Translated by José Manuel Álvarez Flórez. Contraseñas collection, no. 59.
For readers who enjoy British satirical comedy, acid humor, and social criticism taken to absurd situations.
Thomas Ridley Sharpe was an English satirical novelist, best known for his Wilt series, as well as Porterhouse Blue and Blott on the Landscape, all three of which were adapted for television.
