About This Item
New York. 1987. October 1987. Avon Books. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0380750600. Paperback Original. Translated from the Spanish. 198 pages. paperback. . keywords: Literature Translated Bolivia Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - THE REAL CAUSE OF THIS CRISIS IS CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS' - So wrote a Bolivian journalist on the editorial page of his newspaper. He named no names. But his few words quickly led eight armed men to his home to arrest him and throw him into prison. And so begins the wrenching, provocative account of one man s terrible choice between silence and safety; between writing the truth or living a lie. Told with great wit, piercing aphorisms, and stunning emotion, BITING SILENCE gives a moving portrait of life for a writer under a dictatorship . . a government so enraged by his work that they ordered all Spanish-language editions burned. This book will be a valuable addition to and subtle counterpoint for all the looks we take at dictatorship in Latin America. In these times especially it should be set before the American publics' - Gregory Rabassa. inventory #8733 ISBN: 0380750600.
