Summary
Augusto Roa Bastos: I, Supreme
Combining elements of burlesque and parable, Augusto Roa Bastos writes a layered story about absolute power - inspired by the life of Dr. José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, the first dictator of Paraguay - and explores its metaphysical aspects and mythical roots, as well as the fates of individuals and entire nations under the yoke of tyranny.
