About
Yann Martel's “Life of Pi” meets Junot Diaz's “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” in a propulsive work of historical fiction about U.S. intervention and corruption in the Dominican Republic.
The basis of the 2017 film adaptation by Andrés Curbelo and David Maler.
In 1976 Santo Domingo, Ángel Maceta uncovers the real story behind the murder of his father, Puro Maceta, ten years prior. In the process, he unleashes a series of small revolutions in his community that unravel other intrigues of what really took place during the Civil War of 1965.
Reinbou explores this era in Dominican society, a time when the U.S. sent Marines into the country to back a coup against Juan Bosch, the first democratically elected president of the Dominican Republic since the end of the brutal, three-decade-long dictatorship of the genocidal Rafael Trujillo. Moving between 1965 and 1976, we follow the revolutionary efforts of Puro and the transformative, feverish imagination and adventures of Ángel.
Told through the eyes of a child and a varied cast of friends, family, and neighbors, Reinbou explores the consequences of political and societal upheaval, corruption, and violence in modern Dominican society.
