| 520 | |a "Seth Oreamundo dreams of vengeance. For the past ten years, he's been exiled in D.C., prohibited from returning home to Costa Rica, where he was once a high-ranking government official but now is disgraced and despised. Osario Oreamundo, his younger brother, is to blame. When a macabre nature show about a crocodile that unexpectedly and viciously attacked a cast member reminds Seth of a childhood memory he's all but erased, Seth hatches a plan-one that involves a crocodile infested-river-to return to his rightful place among Costa Rica's elite. Alternating between Seth's wily murder plot and the boys' privileged upbringing on a sprawling coffee estate in politically fraught 1970's and 80's Costa Rica, Crocodilopolis is an engaging exploration of archetypes (the exiled prince, sibling rivalry, and the anti-hero) that questions whether people have the power to escape the roles they are cast into at birth. A darkly witty, biblical, and soapy tale of a "royal" Costa Rican family, Crocodilopolis masterfully interrogates power, destiny, and legacy in this sophomore novel from a literary star on the rise"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
