In a provincial Argentinean town, Charley Fortnum, a British consul with dubious authority and a weakness for drink, is kidnapped by Paraguayan revolutionaries who have mistaken him for the American ambassador.
Dr. Eduardo Plarr, a local physician with his own divided loyalties, serves as the negotiator between the rebels and the authorities.
These fumbling characters play out an absurd drama of failure, hope, love, and betrayal against a backdrop of political chaos.
The Honorary Consul is both a gripping novel of suspense and a penetrating psychological and sociological study of personal and political corruption.
