This remarkable novel exists as one of the most accurate narrative descriptions of rural violence in Colombia. The weight of events and the inherent state of war that seems to irremediably condemn human beings are the back drop to a sensitive account of the death of Julián, a popular activist murdered during a peasant demonstration. This event triggers an expansion of violence that transgresses society's every law--from media infiltration in the form of censorship to the irreparable consequences of ruthless crossfire in battlefields.
Esta novela singular es hasta la fecha uno de los más certeros acercamientos novelados a la situación de violencia rural que se respira en Colombia. La contundencia de los hechos y el inherente estado de guerra al que irremediablemente parecen estar condenados a vivir los seres humanos se levantan como telón de fondo en un relato sensible de la muerte de Julián, un popular activista campesino que es asesinado durante una marcha campesina. Es así como se desata una violencia expansiva que transgrede todas las capas de la sociedad--desde su infiltración a los medios de comunicación en forma de censura hasta las irreparables consecuencias causadas por el fuego de los violentos en los campos de batalla.
