From Library Journal:
Macno, former rock star and current dictator of an imaginary Latin American country, is preparing his third anniversary speech when German television journalist Lise and her cameraman invade the palace grounds. They are rescued by Macno, who promises an interview and invites them to join his glamourous pseudo-Renaissance court. As if hypnotized, Lise falls in love with the irresistible Macno, but their affair ends with a bang. More interesting than the plot is De Carlo's literary technique. Confined to the present tense, the novel emphasizes style and elegance; people, clothes, and surroundings are described in sensuous detail. The sentences are short and the dialogue is sparse, yet the book succeeds as a literary treatment of the role of television in politics and in the creation of an eerily superficial modern society.
