The Lightning of August

''Los relámpagos de agosto'' (officially translated in 1986 as ''The Lightning of August'') was the first novel written by Mexican author Jorge Ibargüengoitia. Published for the first time in 1964, it parodies the memories written by veterans of the 1910 Mexican Revolution and the armed revolts that continued to destabilize the country for the next two decades.〔

Since many of such veterans had joined the Institutional Revolutionary Party (''PRI'') —a political organization that had ruled Mexico by rigging elections and engaging in massive corruption and cronyism for most of the 20th century— the topic was still considered somewhat off-limits by the governing regime (and the literary critics that sympathized with it) at the time of its publication.
Critically, it went on to receive the 1964 ''Casa de las Américas'' annual prize for novel, it has been distributed among Mexican public schools through the National Reading Program and it was selected by the Guadalajara International Book Fair to celebrate the 2010 World Book Day.
==Summary of the plot==

The book is written as the personal testimony of fictional and disgraced Army General José Guadalupe "Lupe" Arroyo, a veteran of the Mexican Revolution. Throughout the novel, Arroyo attempts to dispel all sorts of "defamatory claims" made by his political rivals and tries to explain the plainly incompetent political and military strategies made by his associates.
