El asalto by Reinaldo Arenas

peebee's review against another edition

5.0

Reads like a mix of We, American Psycho, Dead/Alive and the back half of The Futurological Congress.

It's also the final of apparently 5 books the guy wrote about Castro's Cuba. Be interesting to see if he leads from a recognizable society into the brutal mutant hellscape nightmare of The Assault, or if that's just the setting, get used to it.
