Book Description
 

INFORMERS, THE by Juan Gabriel Vasquez - BOOK - ADVANCE READING COPY

"When Gabriel Santoro's book is scathingly reviewed by his own father, a famous Bogota rhetorician, Gabriel is both shocked and devastated by the icy rebuke. A volume that catalogues the life of longtime family friend Sara Guterman, a Jewish German immigrant who escaped to Colombia during the 1930s, A Life in Exile seemed merely Gabriel's attempt to preserve a piece of his country's rapidly vanishing past. But as he pores over his research looking for clues to his father's anger, a sinister secret lies locked in the pages, just beyond Gabriel's reach." After his father's mysterious death in a car accident a few years later, Gabriel takes up his search anew through half a century of half-truths and hidden meanings. With the help of Sara Guterman and his father's young girlfriend, Angelina, layer after shocking layer of Gabriel's world falls away and a complex portrait of his family and their history grows from the ruins. From the streets of 1940s Bogota to a stranger's doorstep in 1990s Medellin, he unravels the web of doubt, betrayal, and guilt at the core of his family's life and wades into a dark, long-silenced period of history after World War II.
