Juan Gabriel Vásquez’s books include the 2014 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award winner and national bestseller,?The Sound of Things Falling, as well as the award-winning?The Informers?and?The Secret History of Costaguana.?Vásquez’s novels have been published in seventeen languages worldwide. After sixteen years in France, Belgium, and Spain, he now lives in Bogotá.
Juan Gabriel Vásquez has been hailed not only as one of South America’s greatest literary stars, but also as one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. In this gorgeously wrought, award-winning novel, Vásquez confronts the history of his home country, Colombia.
In the city of Bogotá, Antonio Yammara reads an article about a hippo that had escaped from a derelict zoo once owned by legendary Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. The article transports Antonio back to when the war between Escobar’s Medellín cartel and government forces played out violently in Colombia’s streets and in the skies above. Back then, Antonio witnessed a friend’s murder, an event that haunts him still. As he investigates, he discovers the many ways in which his own life and his friend’s family have been shaped by his country’s recent violent past. His journey leads him all the way back to the 1960s and a world on the brink of change: a time before narco-trafficking trapped a whole generation in a living nightmare.
Vásquez is “one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature,” according to Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa, and The Sound of Things Falling is his most personal, most contemporary novel to date, a masterpiece that takes his writing—and will take his literary star—even higher.

评分Gabriel Vasquez最新譯成英語的小說,布局構思和《告密者》類似,采用第一人稱,撕開記憶,追索遮蔽的過去,涉及哥倫比亞另一段曆史,亦糅閤其他文體,喜歡作者徐緩沉著、自信耐心的敘事節奏,幾次同一時空下兩種場景的碰撞非常有趣,標題“墜物之聲”富有多層含義,閤上最後一頁時仿佛真的聽見瞭“東西”墜落的聲音。那“東西”是什麼?
评分Incredible.
