Description: "El vuelo del tigre (1981?), an allegorical, satirical novel by the Argentine Moyano, recounts the militaristic takeover of an Andean village. Bizarre, often surreal plot; oppressors are percussionists, villagers resist through music. Useful translator's afterword sets work in political and historical context of Argentina's Dirty War. Skillful, knowledgeable translation"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
