Updike J., The Coup — 1992
Аннотация: Kush - the imaginary African nation of John Updike's wildly inventive tale - is a large, land-locked, drough-ridden territory whose ruler, one Colonel Hakim Felix Ellelou, has four wives, a silver Mercedes, and a fanatic aversion to all things American. The United States, however, won't leave Kush alone, which annoys the good colonel no end - and makes for a novel of extraordinary humour and passion, a brilliant work of the imagination from one of our finest storytellers.
