ISBN 0930523547

Sex and power are dominant themes in this innovative novel by Cristina Peri Rossi. The Ship of Fools subverts and reinvents the novel form, characters and language, mixing fantasy and reality, medieval and modern. The wandering hero refuses to conform to an established order that can descend to the depths of militarism and machismo. The relationship between power and sex is posed in a series of ever more ambiguous events, dreams and riddles.
