A by-product of Argentina's losing the Falkland Islands war was the overthrow of its military dictatorship. Now in literature the horrors of that dictatorship are coming to the fore. Billed as a sequel to A Funny Dirty Little War ( LJ 4/1/86), this is the story of two losers, an aging boxer and an ex-tango singer, who are invited to a small town in the interior to participate in celebrations designed to glorify the local military establishment. The singer never gets to perform at all and the boxer gets badly bloodied, but he can't even get emergency hospital treatment because the town's only doctors are out celebrating. Combining both humor and the tension of mystery, the novel is largely concerned with the singer's campaign to save the boxer from what he perceives early on as a setup. For all collections of Latin American fiction.
