PS

That author's name, the one who wrote, Mi hermano el alcalde, is Fernando Vallejo. I could not think of it, and by the time I had gone to Amazon to find it, it was too late to go back to HTML and put it in. I mean no disrespect to Sr Vallejo.  He is a hot item in the Latin book scene, I guess. I want to read the book, but reading is so slow for me now with my poor eyes--that reading in Spanish is just untenable. I'll wait till I see it come out in English. YAZZYBEL
