The End of the Story | Liliana Heker

2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

"Liliana Heker is one of the most remarkable voices of the Argentinean generation after Borges ... her fiction chronicles the small tragedies that take place within the vast tragedy of our history. A universal and indispensable writer." - Alberto Manguel When Diana Glass witnesses Leonora's abduction from a street in Buenos Aires, she despairs that her friend has joined the ranks of los desaparaecidos, the missing ones. She begins to write the story of their friendship, but certain memories, details, and whispered allegations about Leonora's fate consistently intrude. Leonora was born to drink life down to the bottom of the glass. But, Diana wonders, is that necessarily a virtue? Gripping, intelligent, and intricately structured, Liliana Heker's novel of an unstable revolutionary pasionaria has inflamed readers across Latin America. The End of the Story is a shocking study of the pyschology of torture, and a tragic portrait of Argentina's Dirty War.

The End of the Story | Liliana Heker

pick

This review is for Heker‘s short story “Strategies Against Sleeping”. Senora Eloisa is very tired. She is returning to Azul by car riding with a salesman friend of her daughter‘s future father-in-law; however he wants to talk- wants her to keep him awake. She tells a story about a beggar in the street carrying a fat baby- she is so tired. What Eloisa relates causes him to set her by the side of the road, in the rain. Translated from Spanish.

Lindy 🌹This is a powerful story. #ssac2018 6y

The End of the Story | Liliana Heker

This is translated from Spanish by an Argentinean author and is another #scribdpicks for #womenintranslation.
This sounds really interesting someone talking about their friend who's been kidnapped, probably not to be seen again.
Yet another #tbr for me.
