| Un-Silenced January 18, 2002 Arturo von Vacano's Biting Silence (an English language translation of "Morder el Silencio") sheds light on the experiences of a journalist silenced by a Latin American military dictatorship in the 1980s. Poignant in his description of the military regime and creative in his presentation of contemporaneous thoughts as he is imprisoned, memories of his family, and surreal interpretations of events to come, von Vacano keeps the reader engaged throughout the novel. Von Vacano personalizes the horrifying reality of being punished for telling the truth and shows that yes, it can happen to you. Released at the tale end of the "Latin boom," von Vacano was the lone representative of Bolivian authors published in English at the time. And this was a choice well made by Avon/Bard given the centrality of its theme -- struggling to tell the truth in a society silenced by those in power -- to the Latin American situation, both then, and in many cases, even now. |
