Mauro Javier Cardenas discusses his debut novel, The Revolutionaries Try Again, with Zyzzyva magazine's Oscar Villalon.
Featuring a performance by the Word for Word Theatrical Company!
Praise for The Revolutionaries Try Again:
“Exuberant, cacophonous . . . Cardenas dizzyingly leaps from character to character, from street protests to swanky soirees, and from lengthy uninterrupted interior monologues to rapid-fire dialogues and freewheeling satirical radio programs, resulting in extended passages of brilliance.” —Publishers Weekly, review *starred*
“An unhinged novel about three childhood friends contemplating a presidential run against the crooked Ecuadorian president Abdalá “El Loco” Bucaram. This is double-black-diamond high modernism, so do some warm-up stretches before you crack this baby.” —Shelf Awareness
