Fuentes has produced a narrative crammed with penetrating insights and provocative comments not merely on politics but also on history, art and literature' Spectator 'This is Fuentes at his satirical best, mixing political wisdom, biting wit and poignant self-realisation' Scotland on Sunday --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars witty and insightful, 20 Dec 2006
By Teapot (Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eagle's Throne (Paperback)
This is the first Fuentes novel that I have really enjoyed. The Eagle's Throne is an assembly of letters written to and from the various political actors in a fictional Mexico. Although the actual story is utterly contrived and the plot gets totally out of hand, it is a very enjoyable read. Many of the earlier letters are a wonderful reflection on contemporary politics in Mexico, packed with well-known truisms, anecdotes and historical references. In the Eagle's Throne, Fuentes shows a wit and insight rarely manifested in his other works. Well worth reading for both entertainment and political commentary.
