"Prizewinning novel Disparo en la catedral follows a San Salvador journalist through an eight-month period leading up to and following Archbishop Romero's assassination. Verbatim texts of Romero's homilies incorporated into text. Bencastro's work as a playwright evident in copious dialogue. Competently translated. No supporting materials, but good for classroom use given historical context"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
