Winner of the 2017 Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz Prize. In the middle of the Chilean dictatorship, a distraught man goes into the offices of an opposition magazine. He's a secret police agent. I want to speak, he says, and a journalist turns on her tape recorder to listen to a testimony that will open the doors of an, until then, unknown dimension. Following the thread of this real-life event, Nona Fernandez activates her imagination to access those corners where memory and investigative files have not been able to reach. Having to confront her own experiences with that of the torturer, the narrator enters the lives of the protagonists of that menacing testimony: that of a father detained in a bus while taking his children to school, and that of a child who must continue to change his name and make up different life stories until one day he witnesses a massacre, among others. Nona Fernandez builds a story based on the bad conscience of an unfathomable character, exposing and shining a light to that area of madness and loss that is much closer than we think, and that can turn a human being into a beast. A novel that captivates, moves you, and shakes you. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9788439732808
