...breakfast table, a recording device is hidden in a tie clip, new leaders are found by a spin-the-bottle technique, and the real rapport between nations rests on a Jellolike foundation of friendship between Latifundia's President and the American ambassador. Despite the apparently insurmountable handicap of so familiar a scenario, Robert Wool has managed to produce a finely written first novel that explores the personality of a South American nation while revealing the lives and characters of two strong and complex men.
