Oblivion

Resumen del libro

Review Quotes:
"It is very difficult to summarize "Oblivion" without betraying it, because, like all great works, it is many things at once. To say that it is a heartrending memoir of the author's family and father--who was murdered by a hired assassin--is true, but paltry and infinitesimal, because the book is also a moving immersion in the inferno of Colombian political violence, in the life and soul of the city of Medellin, in the private life and public courage of a family, a true story that is also a superb fiction due to the way it is written and constructed, and one of the most eloquent arguments written in our time or any time against terror as an instrument of political action." --Mario Vargas Llosa
"A tremendous and necessary book, devastatingly courageous and honest. At times I wondered how he was brave enough to write it." --Javier Cercas
