The Dancer Upstairs

Last night I finished the novel The Dancer Upstairs, by Nicholas Shakespeare. It is a fictionalized account of the hunt for and capture of Abimael Guzmán, the leader of the Shining Path in Peru. It centers on the police officer who eventually found him in Lima. I enjoyed it--it’s added my book list on the left side--and it made me want to find a good biography of Guzmán. I haven’t found any in English, though maybe there is one published in Peru.
