«Vergüenza» is the novel by Salman Rushdie, published by Alfaguara in paperback (433 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in an imaginary country that evokes contemporary Pakistan, where two families are pitted against each other over honor and humiliation. Between political satire and magical realism, Rushdie portrays a society shaken by corruption, abuse of power and the contradictions of repression, and turns shame into a motor of violence.
Translation by Miguel Sáenz. Alfaguara Literature Collection, number 164. The work was originally published in English as Shame (1983).
For readers of contemporary fiction and magical realism who appreciate political satire.
