   Is the Jaguar Smile a novel?

   • The answer to all three questions is, no, quit being silly. The Jaguar Smile is not a novel, but a journalistic account of Rushdie's visit to Nicaragua to ascertain what the deal was with the Sandinistas and why Reagan wanted to crush them (spoiler alert: it's because Reagan is a douche-bag).
