书籍简介
在这本书里，Vasquez是作者、是讲述者、也是主人公。在哥伦比亚，他被一个叫Carballo的电台主持人推进了一个潜在的阴谋，Carballo声称他有证据证明Jorge Eliécer Gaitan (1948) 和Rafael Uribe Uribe将军(1914)两者的刺杀有联系。Vasquez翻开了祖国黑暗的过往，向我们展示了，历史忽略的真实是可以通过虚构作品还原出来的。
The Shape of the Ruins by the Colombian writer Juan Gabriel Vasquez, whose recent novel, the best-selling Sound of Things Falling won Spain"s Alfaguara Prize, Italy"s Von Rezzori Prize and the 2014 Dublin IMPAC literary Award, was published to acclaim in Colombia last year and has just appeared in Spain.
It takes the form of personal and formal investigations into two political assassinations - the murders of Rafael Uribe Uribe in 1914, the man who inspired Garcia Marquez"s General Buendia in One Hundred Years of Solitude, and of the charismatic Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, the man who might have been Colombia"s J.F.K., gunned down on the brink of success in the presidential elections of 1948. Separated by more than 30 years, the two murders at first appear unconnected, but as the novel progresses Vasquez reveals how between them they contain the seeds of the violence that has bedevilled Colombia ever since. The Shape of the Ruins is Vasquez"s most ambitious, challenging and rewarding novel to date.
