The Books Oracle

Papi

by Rita Indiana

Dominican author Rita Indiana crafts a provocative novel examining power, desire, and dictatorship through the lens of a father-daughter relationship in the Dominican Republic. The narrative explores how machismo, political corruption, and personal obsession intertwine across generations. Indiana's prose is raw and unflinching in its examination of patriarchal violence.
