The book that Daniel Ortega banned: Tongolele no sabía bailar
So, I just happened to come across this review in the NYT review of books; and because some of my extended family live there, thought it was highly relevant. Curious to read what others think..
Some excerpts:
> Ramírez’s rich array of novels and historical essays—sixty years of ceaseless production—is a tribute to the tragic and absurd history of his beautiful homeland.
>
>“Tongolele no sabía bailar” (Tongolele Had No Rhythm) is a grim, wildly funny, surrealistic account of the grievous events of the spring of 2018, when student protests broke out in Managua and other cities around the country, and the repression served up by Ortega and Murillo left three hundred dead.
>
> Because he was vice-president or the equivalent for the first ten years of the Sandinista regime, Ramírez has intimate knowledge of Ortega and his associates in the underworld of power, as well as of everyday Nica life.
