A provocative drawing of Venezuela's Lady Justice replaced Abe Lincoln's words on the lawyer's room of Reten La Planta, a prison in Caracas.
The time was 1995, Gail Kenna's last day in country after four years there.
Her non-fiction work, initially printed through a 2000 Puffin Foundation grant, explores a country that satirizes greed and depravity, and mocks unequal administration of the law.
In prologue and epilogue, and fourteen interrelated stories, Kenna unveils corruption that help.
