Death in the Andes / Mario Vargas Llosa ; translated by Edith Grossman. - 1st ed. - New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1996. - 275 p. ; 24 cm.
"In this novel, simultaneous plot lines ranging from an investigation by Corporal Lituma of a mysterious disappearance, to his deputy's love affair with a prostitute, to an Andean community terrorized by Shining Path guerrillas, and the alternating first- and third-person narrators all obscure coherence. Grossman's lazy translation needlessly retains large doses of original Spanish lexicon. An introduction, maps, and a translator's note are badly needed to orient readers not familiar with Peru"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
