The Shape of the Ruins

Heading 3

MacLehose Press

Publisher notes

This title takes the form of personal and formal investigations into two political assassinations - the murders of Rafael Uribe Uribe in 1914, and of the charismatic Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, the man who might have been Colombia's J.F.K., gunned down on the brink of success in the presidential elections of 1948. Separated by more than 30 years, the two murders at first appear unconnected, but as the novel progresses Vasquez reveals how between them they contain the seeds of the violence that has bedevilled Colombia ever since.
