...late at night, as I may be sleeping." Army Commander Nicolas Lindley was named Prime Minister. Air Force General Jesús Melgar, the new Agriculture Minister, quickly scored with consumers by persuading butchers to knock down meat prices. The generals reaffirmed their intention to hold a simon-pure election next June. There were even stories that APRA, with which the generals have been feuding for three decades, had agreed to a modus vivendi: APRA would be allowed to continue as a party so long as it attempted no outright subversion. To every hat-in-hand delegation of businessmen, politicians...

Their mechanical techniques, almost inevitably, have allowed a number of non-novelists to masquerade as writers of fiction. Neo-Realist Marguerite Duras' pure conversational tour de force. The Square, has resulted in at least one non-novel of string-thin chitchat. The laudable Neo-Realist potion of engaging the reader directly in the action of the book has led another disciple, Marc Saporta, to try to enlist his readers as coauthor. His latest...
