Mexico had just declared war on Germany, and its capital became a colorful cauldron of European eÌmigreÌs: German communists, Nazi spies, Spanish republicans, Trotsky and his disciples, Balkan kings, financiers, and secret agents from Allied and Axis countries alike. As the historian-turned-detective begins his investigation, he introduces us, chapter by chapter, to an eccentric parade of characters from Mexico City's political, artistic, intellectual, and upper classes. Pitol constructs a novel that turns on mistaken identities, blurred memories, and conflicting interest, and whose protagonist is haunted by the inescapable possibility that he might never uncover the truth."--Back cover. 500 $a Originally published in Spanish as El desfile del amor in 1984. 546 $a Translated from the Spanish. 505 00 $g ch. 11 $t Crabs on the March!. $g ch. 2 $t The Vanquished Party -- $g ch. 3 $t Perfect Hostess -- $g ch. 4 $t Corridors and Surprises -- $g ch. 5 $t Ida Werfel Speaks to Her Daughter -- $g ch. 6 $t Who Sings and Dances -- $g ch. 7 $t In the Garden of Juan Fernandez -- $g ch. 8 $t Portrait of a Diva -- $g ch. 9 $t The Love Parade -- $g ch. 10 $t The Detestable Mexican Castrato -- $g ch. 11 $t Crabs on the March!. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historians $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Historians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957686 650 7 $a Murder $x Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029788 651 0 $a Mexico City (Mexico) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Mexico $z Mexico City. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206137 655 0 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $0 (uri) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/gf2014026280 $0 (uri) http://id.worldcat.org/fast/fst01726581 $0 (uri) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/gf2014026280 655 0 $a Historical fiction. $0 (uri) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/gf2014026370 $0 (uri) http://id.worldcat.org/fast/fst01726640 $0 (uri) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/gf2014026370 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Henson, G.
