The Condor and the Cows
by Christopher Isherwood
They’ve put an Inca flag up in the main square in Lima which is all bogus because, of course, the Incas didn’t have a flag. There’s quite a nice quote in the Isherwood about the Incas: ‘Much ritual, little spirituality. Much gold, little elegance. Much feasting, little fun.’ It’s a wonderfully satirical vision.
