We are delighted to invite you to the book launch of the translation into English of the last novel written by Colombian writer Juan Gabriel V\u00e1squez. The event will take place today at 7pm at Caf\u00e9 Literario.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Juan Gabriel Vasquez is one of the leading novelists of his generation, and\u00a0The Sound of Things Falling<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that tackles what became of Colombia in the time of Pablo Escobar is his best book to date.<\/p>\n

No sooner does he get to know Ricardo Laverde than young Antonio Yammara realises that his new friend has a secret, or rather several secrets. Antonio’s fascination with the life of Laverde begins by casual acquaintance in a billiard hall and grows until the day Ricardo is murdered.<\/p>\n

More out of love with life than ever, he starts asking questions until the questions become an obsession that leads him to Laverde’s daughter. His troubled investigation leads all the way back to the early 1960s, marijuana smuggling and a time before the cocaine trade trapped a whole generation of Colombians in a living nightmare of fear and random death.<\/p>\n

Juan Gabriel V\u00e1squez\u00a0(Rosario, Colombia, 1973) studied law in his hometown and obtained a phd in Latin American Literature in the Sorbone University. At present he lives in Barcelona. He has published three “official” novels \u2013\u00a0The informers<\/em>,\u00a0The secret history of Costaguana<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0The Sound of Things Falling<\/em>\u2014 however he wrote others at the age of 23 and 25 which he prefers to omit. His works have been translated in England, France, Netherlands, Italy and Poland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
