Description: Gabriel Mckenzie was conceived on the night of October 10th, 1967, in a bed in Santiago de Chile -- at the exact moment, his mother claims, that Che Guevara was being buried thousands of miles to the north, in Bolivia. The next day, his father, Cristobal makes a bet with his best friend Pablo Baron: Cristobal wagers that he will make rove to a woman every night for the next twenty-five years. Baron bets that on that date in 1992, he, Pablo, will be the most powerful man in Chile.

By 1991, Gabriel Mckenzie, exiled in Manhattan, is a baby-faced twenty-three-year-old virgin. Traumatized by the presence of a Don Juan progenitor in Chile, Gabriel returns home to seek help from his father. But before he can Eft the curse on his sex life, he must travel to the South Pore and solve the mystery of who is threatening the iceberg that Pablo wants to carve out of Antarctica and ship to Seville to celebrate America's 500 years.

Will Cristobal make it into the Guinness Book of Records? Will Gabriel get his confidence back and fall in love -- and into bed? Will Gabriel's eighty-year-old nanny, who may be the last of an extinct tribe from Patagonia, save the family from disaster? Rabelaisian, picaresque, and erotic, The Nanny and the Iceberg is the most disarmingly original fiction yet from the highly acclaimed author of Konfidenz and Death and the Maiden.
