In the darkest days of the Videla dictatorship, GoÌmez, a gay high-school literature teacher, tries to keep a low profile as one-by-one, his friends and students begin to disappear. When Esteban, one of GoÌmez's favorite students, is taken away in a classroom raid, GoÌmez realizes that no one is safe anymore, and that asking too many questions can have lethal consequences. His life gradually becomes a paranoid, insomniac nightmare that not even his nightly forays into bars and bathhouses in search of anonymous sex can relieve. Things get even more complicated when he takes in two dissidents, putting his life at risk--especially since he's been having an affair with a homophobic, sadistic cop with ties to the military government. Told mostly in flashbacks thirty years later, 77 is rich in descriptive detail, dream sequences, and even elements of the occult, which build into a haunting novel about absence and the clash between morality and survival when living under a dictatorship"--Cover, page 4. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction). $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 650 0 $a Gay men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Closeted gays $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Disappeared persons $z Argentina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen seventy-seven, A.D $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Argentina $x History $y 1955-1983 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Buenos Aires (Argentina) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Labinger, Andrea G., $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402015656.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A16B6AE550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
