Synopsis
"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.

An Andean village called Hualacato is invaded by a junta, and all the peasants are sentenced to house arrest and other increasingly difficult punishments. The novel focuses on one family, the Aballays, their cat Belinda, and the comical yet earnest ways they confront, subvert, and ultimately triumph over repression.
