5 out of 5 stars Marquez vividly captures the anguish of political exile.   October 22, 1999
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

The book chronicles the experiences of a Chilean political exile who returns to film a clandestine documentary during the years of the Pinochet regime. Marquez masterfully captures the essence of Santiago during the dictatorship, and manages to depict the complex and difficult emotions political exiles experience when faced with the return to a homeland that has changed. Beautifully written.

First of all, I've read this book in the original Spanish version, I recommend you do the same. The book is pretty good, I read it in two days, could not put it down!

My first impression was a "spy" story of guy in exile infiltrating his own country to take out the actual truth to the World (I wonder if it ever really happened!!!)

This is an absolute thriller that reminded me somehow of the John LeCarre stories. Highly recommended to any student of modern South American political affairs and history.

Five stars.

4 out of 5 stars A good glimpse of Chilean politics   October 13, 2004
HardyBoy64 (Rexburg, ID United States)
Unlike in his novels, García Márquez uses a straight-forward journalistic tone to tell the story of Miguel Littin, exiled from his native Chile and brave enough to infiltrate his country in the mid 80's to film the consequences of the Pinochet dictatorship. The story has its tense moments and I recommend it for those interested in military dictatorships in Latin American. Of course, you should see Littin's film, too!
