The Shape Of The Ruins by Juan Gabriel Vásquez
A reflective, tightly woven novel in which a man becomes obsessed with unraveling a decades-old political murder and the tangled stories, secrets and lies that grew up around it; through his investigation—part reportage, part personal confession—the book examines how violence, memory and narrative shape private lives and national history, blurring the line between truth and invention as each revelation reshapes the past and the narrator’s own identity.
