Dias de la Selva

In my ongoing revolution based Latin American literary quest, I started Mario Payeras' short novel Dias de la Selva. Thus far, a group of renegades from all walks of life are traveling through the Guatemalan jungles recruiting and setting up camp for a revolutionary effort against the government in the 1970's. Little information is given about the groups ideals, outside of the want to rebel in the name of socialism, and in the preface and introduction it is noted that the book is intentionally spotty and full of holes. Written from an anynomous first person perspective, it reads like a journal of one of the revolutionaries. As I progress, hopefull more will be made clear as to how and why these revolutionaries are fighting.
