New Book by Alberto Ambard and Amelia Mondragón: Alta Traición

New York, NY, April 13, 2020 --(PR.com)-- "In Alta Traición, the literary expression of what Hugo Chávez did in Venezuela has pushed the boundaries of epic poetry and has manifested itself as fiction." -BBC Mundo.

"This is not only fine writing by two sophisticated writers, but this is also a history lesson in the form of a novel. And even more important, the authors have created a small band of friends who become our friends, too. This is an exceptional work that deserves a very wide audience." -Grady Harp
