An ethnographic report of daily life, myths and rituals in a now vanished Paraguayan tribe, translated from the French by novelist Paul Auster. It's an odd, fascinating book. Based on fieldwork by Clasters, a respected anthropologist, in Eastern Paraguay in the early 1960s. He claims ritual cannibalism.  (SAM71, $19.95)
