David Frye's abridgment of his 2003 translation of The Mangy Parrot captures all of the narrative drive, literary innovation, and biting social commentary that established Lizardi's comic masterpiece as the Don Quixote of Latin America.
A wonderful window into life in Mexico at the end of the colonial era. As a primary source, it is especially relevant to my Latin American history course. Lizardi provides insight into issues of ethnicity/race, gender, class, and radicalism through this novel.--David Carey, Jr., University of Southern Maine
