From the Back Cover
'Benitez-Rojo 'plays upon Spanish-American history rousingly, with an incessant hail of luminous, violent imagery and an unmistakable indignation...He writes wonderfully, with life, edge, and the density of a poem...With the semi-millennial anniversary of Columbus's landfall almost upon us, this novel makes us sorry that America was discovered.' --John Updike, New Yorker
