Unique in both its tone and its structure, the novel takes us from their student days (school fights, playground revela- tions, and an unforgettable trip to the seaside) into their adult years, involving rumors of a hippie cult and a bizarre raucous theater exhibit of history's most violent crimes. TonÌo uses his charm and wealth-as well as reputed magical powers-to manipulate others, but it isn't until the end of the book that the devastating truth is revealed-and how true is it? Reminiscent of the fiction of Roberto BolanÌo and the films of Alfonso CuaroÌn, this brilliant novel takes us into the heart of his country's darkness, creating an unforgettable portrait of a society where humanity still endures, despite its brutality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Murderers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Violent crimes $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Colombia $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Meadowcroft, Victor, $e translator. 700 1 $a McLean, Anne, $d 1962- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020759.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203070245.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45E2AFFE447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
