VICIOUS CIRCLE - JOSÉ AGUSTÍN KARTONIERT (TB)

Peering into the labyrinth of Mexico's justice system in the 1970s  Vicious Circle could have
been written yesterday. Mexican playwright José Agustín skillfully integrates enduring themes
relevant in contemporary Mexico-drugs  crime  and corruption-to weave together an unenviable
prisoner's dilemma for four young hippies who find themselves between the rock and hard place
that was Mexico's unforgiving Lecumberri prison  where Agustín found his inspiration.
Exceptionally translated in the parlance of a heady time  this adaptation will find welcoming
audience among English speakers fascinated by the counter-culture era that gave birth to the
modern day war on drugs.David A. Shirk  University of San Diego  CAEric W. Vogt's translation
of José Agustín's Círculo vicioso is a masterpiece. The bilingual format and superb glossary
facilitate serious study for translators and interpreters who work with the language of the
underworld in Spanish and English.Elena R. Rojas  Newport Beach  CASerious reading of this play
could foster productive cross-border discussions among professionals in the criminal justice
systems of the US and Mexico.Hon.Judge Runston Maino  San Diego  CA
