Reviews
"Angelo's fiction is some of the most vivid and thoughtful to have come out of Latin America in recent years... It forces us to think about human responsibility, and also about power and its abuse. The Tower of Glass is exciting as suspense, but also as argument. The five stories interlock to some degree, as Angelo teases us with puzzles and connections which slowly build up into larger patterns." -- Times Literary Supplement, "Angelo's fiction is some of the most vivid and thoughtful to have come out of Latin America in recent years...

Synopsis
The five interlocking stories in this novel create,a singular, powerful account of a nation in,turmoil - and a prophetic warning about an,oppressive government's need to control not just,the society but the mind. Through symbolism, wry,humour, and outrageous sexual frankness, Ivan,Angelo tells of businessmen and whores, poor,working people and Death Squads, truth and,illusion, and methods of political manipulation,and terror. From the gritty story of Bete the,streetwalker to a Kafkaesque portrait of a prison,made of glass, these fictional pieces truly shine., The five interlocking stories in The Tower Of Glass create a singular, powerful account of a nation in turmoil - and a prophetic warning about an oppressive government's need to control not just the society but the mind. Through symbolism, wry humour, and outrageous sexual frankness, Ivan Angelo tells of businessmen and whores, poor working people and Death Squads, truth and illusion, and methods of political manipulation and terror. From the gritty, bawdy story of "Bete the Streetwalker" to the Kafkaesque portrait of a prison made of glass, the fictional pieces demonstrate Angelo's masterful wordplay, and his ability to take formal and structural risks without a false step.

- l***c (227)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaBook came packaged well to avoid damage, in great condition. Not sure if the seller delayed shipping or if usps didn’t update the shipping, which is highly likely. Still received and we are happy with our purchase. I had trouble looking up tracking due to the company they used but seller found usps tracking and sent that over quickly. Sellers communication was excellent. Would buy from again. Item as described.
- t***n (2906)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaI don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
- -***6 (133)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaItem arrived as described and adequately packaged. Ridiculously long shipping time. Seller posts incorrect tracking number and lists the item as shipped. Contacted seller for correct tracking, received a new tracking number with the warning that the number won’t be “live” until the item is shipped. Will you get your item? Yeah, probably. Count on it being delivered 2-3 weeks longer than expected.
