"The noise of things falling” by Juan Gabriel Vásquez
“The noise of things falling begins with the exotic escape and subsequent hunt of a hippopotamus, the last vestige of the impossible zoo with which Pablo Escobar exhibited his power. This is the spark that ignites the memory mechanisms of Antonio Yammara, the protagonist and narrator of The Noise of Things Falling, a dark balance of a time of terror and violence, in a Bogotá described as a literary territory full of meanings. ”
Taken from Alfaguara.
