Description: "Translation of Mala onda (see HLAS 54:4049), Fuguet's first, controversial novel that follows 10 days in the life of an upper-class Chilean teenager at the time of the 1980 referendum on Pinochet's power. Excellent translation captures a youth culture of privilege, drugs, sex, and angst caught in the midst of brutal political forces. No locating materials in volume, although book jacket relates narrative to Chilean politics and history"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
