The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts Paperback - 1997
by Louis de Bernieres
A farcical tragedy inextricably entangled with myth, Louis de Bernieres's brilliant first novel is an intoxicating story of life, love, and politics in South America. The war begins when the haughty Dona Constanza tries to divert the village river to fill her swimming pool, and the ensuing events become more and more weird and funny.
From the jacket flap
This rambunctious first novel by the author of the bestselling Corelli's Mandolin is set in an impoverished, violent, yet ravishingly beautiful country somewhere in South America. When the haughty Dona Constanza decides to divert a river to fill her swimming pool, the consequences are at once tragic, heroic, and outrageously funny. "Walks a precarious edge between slapstick and pathos, never once losing its balance."--Washington Post Book World.
