The noise of falling things. Vasquez Juan Gabriel

In the novel by Juan Gabriel Vasquez, the most famous modern writer of Colombia, the “Heir to Marquez”, as his press calls, is everything that suggests high -quality literature: an acute twisted plot, psychological drama, tropical flowers and smells, difficult love relationships. Colombia is just recovering from the harsh war of the government with Pablo Escobar. On the streets of Bogota, people are still dying. The young teacher of the law Antonio Yammara witnesses the murder of the former pilot Ricardo Laverde and begins the investigation.

The scenes of the novel excite the imagination: the murdered hippo from the zoo of the drug lord, a former prisoner, with tears listening to a tape cassette, the crash of the aircraft... and all -A. The book talks not only about fear and pain, but also about the friendship, fidelity and happiness of the birth of a child. Great Columbian novel about overcoming injuries of the past.
