Dominikanischer-US-Autor. In einem Interview mit Megan
O'Rourke (Slate) sagte er zu seinem Roman: I've
always been drawn to dictators. My father was a Little League
dictator. That really affected me, his control-freakery, his
impunity, his arbitrary unreasonable power. So there was
that. Also, my book required a Dark Lord, and what better dark
lord than a real life dictator? Trujillo exemplifies the negative
forces that have for so long beleaguered the peoples of the New
World. Seemed the perfect foil for Oscar.
