Narration Supposing Books 77
Le Falcon verdi lasciavano coaguli sull'asfalto, la traccia degli pneumatici insanguinati. Cercai di camminare rasente il muro: non c'era nessuna porta attraverso cui entrare per nascondermi. I palazzi non avevano porte. Solo finestre. Ma iniziavano appena all'altezza del secondo piano.A ogni finestra famiglie intere con bandierine biancoazzurre applaudivano e festeggiavano la parata silenziosa delle Falcon verdi.
Nel vento si udiva l'eco di una marcia. Ed era la Marcha peronista. Mi appoggiai a un muro. Sentii qualcosa di caldo e appiccicoso sui palmi, sulle dita.
Il muro grondava sangue.

Excelente descripción de un momento nefasto en nuestra historia.A winding, sometimes-fascinating, claustrophobic novel about life under Videla in Argentina. The lead, Gomez, is something of a cipher, though everything he gets up to (gay affairs with police officers, sheltering pregnant dissidents, writing essays on nothingness) is fascinating. The book can be a bit confusing, which I think is an effort to depict life in Argentina in the 70s. Characters flit in and out, vanishing and reappearing. Time behaves oddly. Violence peppers the margins. Its best of
Argentina những năm 70 - lộn xộn và đầy bất trắc, cuốn sách kể về bức tranh xã hội của Argentina dưới góc nhìn của một giáo sư đồng tính, đầy hỗn loạn, những đảng phái tranh giành quyền lực, quân đội bất lực, người dân sống trong sự hoang mang, đọc rất thú vị vì rất lạ, ta chưa bao giờ được nhìn Argentina dưới góc nhìn kỳ lạ và đầy bất an như thế.

I got 43 pages into this book and realized that the reason I'm not reading so much this week is that I'm not motivated to read this book. The topic is interesting to me, but I don't feel that there is enough explanation at the beginning to explain the context of the raids. More, the style of narrator telling his story to someone else isn't working for me. I need quotation marks and I really don't need paragraphs that go on for four pages with no break
A dark novel, with much I just didn't understand, or come to care about.
It's after 1 a.m., I'm tired, and so my words will have to wait except for this: one of the best books I've read this year.More to come.
Though written in 2008 this has only just been published in English. This is Buenos Aires in 1977 under the Videla regime. Green Ford Falcons hover ominously on every street corner, and police beat or imprison people for no apparent reason, and yet the residents of Buenos Aires try to go about their normal business. But looking the other way eventually becomes an untenable proposition for the protagonist, secondary school teacher, Gómez. A student gets taken by gunpoint from his class, and he
