Review

"Operatic and beautiful, del Paso's lush cautionary tale of empire building....may be considered a Mexican WAR AND PEACE."

"NEWS FROM THE EMPIRE is a formidably ambitious and original experiment with the possibilities of writing between genres."

Annotation

This lush historical novel, a renowned classic of Mexican literature, can now finally be enjoyed by English-reading audiences. It details the tumultuous, abbreviated reign of Maximilian and Carlota, who were the Emperor and Empress of Mexico from 1863 to 1867.
An eccentric mix of characters--including, most prominently, the maddened, fever-riddled Carlota--offer conflicting accounts of the extraordinary events that led to the European pair being appointed as puppet rulers of the Mexican nation, and their disastrous attempts at governing. This sprawling, ambitious epic marks the pinnacle of the brilliant career of Fernando del Paso, one of the most important and influential Mexican writers in recent history.
