Con prosa ágil, hiriente y profundamente
expresiva, von Vacano nos sintetiza en Max
su peripecia de hombre boliviano de hoy
que tiene su engarce con muchos hombres
bolivianos de ayer y de antes de ayer. La
mayor tragedia que este hombre encuentra a
su alrededor no es, ni siquiera, la oposición
o la represión que tiene que sufrir. Es el
vacío: la más terrible y la más anegadora de
las frustraciones.
Josep M. Barnadas y Juan José Coy
“Hear, at last, the voice of the
voiceless. The suffering of
millions as the crude reality
denied for a century until today.
Each immigrant coming from
the South will find himself in
these 100 pages, a peerless
book.”
Catalina Rodríguez Anturiano.  
Accountant. “Illegal”
“Nadie dijo antes esta verdad
de modo tan veraz y directo
sobre la inmigración. Nunca
antes se describió el
sufrimiento de los refugiados
(porque no son otra cosa) que
huyen de un Sur oprimido por
las Tiranías a un Norte sin
paralelo en cuanto a la
explotación y el abuso de los
débiles”.
Javier Guillaumer Pedrazas,
medico cirujano. “Ilegal”.

Sobre las notas de Arturo...
“Arturo von Vacano es en mi modesta opinión el mejor escritor boliviano
contemporáneo.  Su lucidez le ha permitido penetrar en esa suerte de
alucinación lógica que a veces es la realidad boliviana y retratarla mas
allá de la burda caricatura costumbrista…”

This is Victor.
He was a happy teenager in a
country under political violence and
turmoil. Them his brother was
murdered. He tried to kill a man. A
fugitive and an expatriate, he left his
beloved Andes. He went for a chance
to reach a mythical place he fell in
love with, Tamalpais. Then he
vanished.
But no man can be a Desaparecido.
This man’s words and deeds remain
for long with his friends and foes, in
stories, memories, white and black
lies that followed a painful path to
the furious roaring of a high seas
storm. Because, as Victor said, “Truth
is hardly a novel, but a novel is often
the best face of truth”.
