The Mangy Parrot
Hackett Publishing Co, Inc (Verlag)
978-0-87220-669-4 (ISBN)
Though never before published in its entirety in English, The Mangy Parrot has become a Mexican classic beloved by generations of Latin American readers. Now, in vibrant American idiom, translator David Frye captures the exuberance of Lizardi's tale-telling as the author follows his narrator and alter ego, Periquillo Sarniento, through a series of misadventures that exposes the ignorance and corruption plaguing Mexican society on the eve of the wars for independence. Raw descriptions of colonial street life, candid portraits of race and ethnicity, and barely camouflaged attacks on colonial authority fill this comic masterpiece of world literature--the Don Quixote of Latin America.
David Frye is Program Associate in Latin American and Caribbean Studies and adjunct professor of Anthropology, University of Michigan. He is the translator of, among other works, Distant Palaces by Abilio Estévez (Arcade, 2004) and the author of Indians Into Mexicans: History and Identity in a Mexican Town (University of Texas, 1996). Nancy Vogeley is Professor Emerita of Modern Languages, University of San Francisco. She is the author of Lizardi and the Birth of the Novel in Spanish America (University Press of Florida, 2001) and editor of Un manuscrito inédito de poesías de José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and University of California, Berkeley, 2003).
