If there was ever a man caught in the vice of history, it's José Altami rano, hero ofVásquez's remarkable second novel (following The informers, 2009).AItamirano speaks to us from London in 1924, ...where he is in exile from his native Colombia. He vows to tell us the real story of Colombia and its endless civil wars, which have torn his family asunder in spite of his valiant but doomed attempt to forge a separate peace.

Take this description of Jamie, A. N. Dyer's stoner son: "Because of his fondness for marijuana, people assumed Jamie was a relaxed individual, one of those semiprofessional stoners in high school ...and college and beyond, but in reality he was often anxious, not in ways fearful or perturbed or troubled, certainly not neurotic, but more like a juggler with too many thoughts tumbling through the air." Random House is touting the novel as a cross between Michael Chabon's Wonder Boys and Claire Messud's TheEmperor's Children, big books that somehow managed to pull together the splinters of our cultural interest.
