The Informers secured Juan Gabriel Vásquez's place as one of the most original and exuberantly talented novelist working today. Now he profits with an ingenious new novel of historical technology. On your day of Joseph Conrad's loss of life, in 1924, the Colombian-born José Altamirano starts to write and cannot stop. Many years before, he confessed to Conrad his life's every delightful depth - from his country's heroic revolutions to his darkest solitary moments. Those romantic recollections became Nostromo, a novel that solidified Conrad's fame and transformed Altamirano's reality into a work of fiction. Now Conrad is inactive, however the slate is in no way clear. Nostromo will live on and Altamirano must write himself back to presence. As the destinies of real empires collide with the murky realities of thought ones, Vásquez will take us from a flourishing 20th-century London to the lawless fury of the blooming Panama and back in a labyrinthine quest to reclaim the past - of both a country and a guy. Juan Gabriel Vásquez's new novel, The Audio of Things Falling, will be available August 2013.
