At this point, where he might have slapped his story shut with a bang, Novelist Tabori gives it a twisting curve; he adds a long Part Two describing an unlabeled Arabian revolutionary movement which has been fighting to overthrow the governor. The epilogue has little to do with the bulk of the novel, and it raises the disconcerting suspicion that Tabori meant Dr. Varga's story as some sort of significant parable.

...trained (at Fort Leavenworth's Command & General Staff School) head of Venezuela's current military junta; by an assassin's bullet; in Caracas. Through the curious workings of Venezuelan politics, Chalbaud led the 1945 revolution which installed leftish Romulo Gallegos as President, three years later helped overthrow Gallegos, clamped army controls on the country, promised elections (but never got around to them), ruled precariously and without unified support even from the army...
