Atusparia

In a Soviet-backed school in Lima, Peru, Indigenous children learn to sing in Russian, do traditional Andean dances and study the theories of Marx and the rules of chess. It's here that young Atusparia learns to dream of revolution.But when the Berlin wall comes down and the school lapses into chaos, she falls into an adolescent haze of sex and drugs. Her journey back towards her socialist ideals will take her to the heart of a feminist, Indigenous insurgency on the shores of Lake Titicaca, where her tumultuous past and dreams for the future will explosively collide.Combining political farce with lyrical fantasy and social realism, Atusparia is a provocative and hilarious novel about revolutionary desire and failure from one of Latin America's most lauded contemporary writers.
