Reseña del libro "Mi Hermano el Alcalde"

Once again in Vallejos unique style, he narrates the adventures of his brother the mayor of Támesis, a lost town in the mountains of Colombia named after the river in London. There, oddly enough, everyone wants to be happy at any cost. But no one achieves it because the happiness of some, conflicts with the happiness of others and out of those conflicts the only thing left are corpses that drift along the turbulent Cauca River. Mi hermano el alcalde is the story of a crazy man who believes in life and in humankind, narrated by another man who does not. In this sarcastic and disillusioned book we find an entire country that crumbles, taking in its fall the dream of paradise. This is a ferocious satire of democracy in a web of illusions, lies and treasons, of souls in pain, dead people that vote and flocks of parrots that tell eternal truths. A devastating picture of an unforgettable character and town.
