Morder el Silencio (Spanish Edition) - Softcover
Gregory Rabassa sobre 'Biting Silence' Un aspecto extremadamente importante de la novela que está también relacionado con la impresión individual es el estilo, que es fluido y podría llamarse 'poético' si tal término no se hubiera hecho un cliché. Me recuerda el estilo narrativo de Alejo Carpentier, quien también manejaba los cambios y las modulaciones tan bien.

Review:
Sobre Morder el Silencio
En sus profundas observaciones de lacorrupción política e individual se puede comparar con Conversación en laCatedral -- en su tormentosa declaración ética, a los trabajos deSolzhenitsyn. En su sombría fusión de historia e imaginación con PedroPáramo.

Arturo von Vacano, the lone representative author of Boliviatranslated into English in
Avon/Bard's now classic series of Latin American fiction,presents us with a grippingly personal account of one of the central themes ofLatin America in the past century -- the individual's struggle for freeexpression in the face of a brutal military regime. Von Vacano blends allegory,poetry, surrealism, dialogue and narrative into an unconventional andcompelling rendering of a Bolivian journalist's imprisonment for the crime oftelling the truth. In the process, he guides us through a mental journey fromthe countrysides of Bolivia straight to the heart of 'the Beast,' a creature ofdomination that has drained Bolivia, and all of Latin America, of its dignity, separatingrich and poor, Indian and white, military and civilian. The range and depthwith which
Von Vacano portrays the protagonist's memories of hisfamily, the stripping of his civil rights, and his aspirations to be a greatnovelist are heartfelt and heart wrenching. Yet, as the author warns us in theprologue, 'This is fiction. It has to be fiction: I am fiction.'
Biting Silence, the English translation of 'Morder elSilencio,' takes on increasing significance as we enter the next Millennium andwatch carefully to see whether 'the Beast' can be transformed into somesemblance of democracy.
