'Joao Cerqueira's novel is an energetic, bizarre, and extremely clever take on two heavily fictionalized leaders.' Bullet Reviews "The Tragedy of Fidel Castro is a phantasmagoric odyssey through a highly imaginative prose universe of discovery and inquest.' Toad Suck 'Brilliant satire, playfully serious [...] do not waste even a single paragraph' Os Meus Livros 'The author brilliantly balances the formal tone and themes of capitalism, socialism and religion with an appropriate dose of the ridiculous.' Rabid Readers Review 'This book has amazing depth and connections that bear repeated scrutiny and investigation. The Tragedy of Fidel Castro is highly relevant to our society today, and I highly recommend it.' San Francisco Book Review
