Argentina. Dirty War.What do you do hotshot? What DO you do?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Extremely psycho-political. Revealing in the analysis of the modern day hell of the human consciousness in the press of political repression. Initially I found the vacillations of the title character to be tedious and mentally grinding but that is the point of the novel - our innate humanism caught in the gears of the unseen oppressor machine reducing us to a moral and physical stupor. This novel presents the sociology of the Argentinian "Dirty War" and one man's reaction to a call to conscience brilliantly. I also felt that the theme of a repression in search of victims was very powerful. Why it is out of print I don't know.
