...movie form to reveal much more of the plot. Suffice it to say, reversal builds on reversal, a persistently wacky character arrives on the scene in the shape of, of all things, a Dutch psychic named Helga Tendorp, and things not only go bump in the night--they also scream and menace various characters with blunt objects...
...friends on San Juan Bautista's volunteer fire department sit for hours on the "liars' bench" in front of the shoe-repair store.

And the final scene, in which civilization explodes in a brilliant burst of light and a final crash of the drums, is chilling...
