At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pig

by John Gimlette

Countless drive-by chroniclers have taken potshots at Paraguay, a quirky land with a penchant for pompous and bloody leaders. Now comes Gimlette, a British lawyer and travel writer, whose giddy romp renders this landlocked South American nation part Dachau, part Disney World. Gimlette writes well, but this is a pretty pen in service to a dark mind: cannibals, tin-horn tyrants, whisky priests and errant gringos, served up with heaps of British public-school flippancy. This isn't Paraguay, warts and all. It's all warts.

--Mac Margolis
