A powerful tale of house arrest in the Argentina of the sixties, when the military junta ruled, The Flight of The Tiger chronicles the peasants? struggle to overcome tyrants and the forces that have brought them into their homes. Moyano uses music as a metaphor for freedom. When the despot bans one musical key, the people change their pitch, and so multiply their powers to resist. "A dazzling metaphorical imagination is energetically displayed.... A funny, original book...." ? Kirkus Reviews
