Doctorow and many othersFrom a global literary star comes a prizewinning tour de force an intimate portrayal of the drug wars in Colombia.Juan Gabriel Vsquez has been hailed not only as one of South Americas greatest literary stars, but also as one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. In this gorgeously wrought, awardwinning novel, Vsquez confronts the history of his home country, Colombia.In the city of Bogot, Antonio Yammara reads an article about a hippo that had escaped from a derelict zoo once owned by legendary Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. The article transports Antonio back to when the war between Escobars Medelln cartel and government forces played out violently in Colombias streets and in the skies above. Back then, Antonio witnessed a friends murder, an event that haunts him still. As he investigates, he discovers the many ways in which his own life and his friends family have been shaped by his countrys recent violent past. His journey leads him all the way back to the 1960s and a world on the brink of change: a time before narcotrafficking trapped a whole generation in a living nightmare.Vsquez is one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature, according to Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa, and The Sound of Things Falling is his most personal, most contemporary novel to date, a masterpiece that takes his writingand will take his literary stareven higher.
