Items related to DON DIMAIO OF LA PLATA (Akashic Urban Surreal)
In 2002, real-life mayor of Providence, Rhode Island """"Buddy"""" Cianci was convicted of federal charges of bribery, extortion and racketeering. This is the story of the last days of Don """"Pally"""" Dimaio, mayor of the city of La Plata, as his corrupt administration spirals out of control. Toggling between satiric adaptations of Cervantes's legend and a satirical narrative of a mayor's quixotic decline, this hilarious novel is simultaneously a commemoration of the fourth centenary of the modern novel and a whip-smart dissection of contemporary politics.
