SUMMARY:Juan Gabriel Vásquez
DESCRIPTION:Praise for Juan Gabriel Vasquez: \n“The narrative escalates\, the mystery deepens\, and the scope of the story widens with each page. This terrific novel draws on Colombia’s tragic history and cycles of violence to tell the story of a troubled man trying to come to grips with the distant forces and events that have shaped his life.” —Khaled Hosseini \n\n“A fine and frightening study of how the past preys upon the present…” —John Banville \n\n“I felt myself under the spell of a masterful writer. Juan Gabriel Vásquez has many gifts–intelligence\, wit\, energy\, a deep vein of feeling–but he uses them so naturally that soon enough one forgets one’s amazement at his talents\, and then the strange\, beautiful sorcery of his tale takes hold.”  —Nicole Krauss \n\n“Juan Gabriel Vásquez is one of the most original new voices of Latin American literature.”  —Mario Vargas Llosa \n\n“For anyone who has read the entire works of Gabriel García Márquez and is in search of a new Colombian novelist… a thrilling new discovery.” —Colm Tóibín \n\nAbout Reputations: \nFrom the brilliant mind of the author of “The Sound of Things Falling\,” a powerful novel about a legendary political cartoonist.\nJavier Mallarino is a living legend. He is his country’s most influential political cartoonist\, the consciousness of a nation. A man capable of repealing laws\, overturning judges’ decisions\, destroying politicians’ careers with his art. His weapons are pen and ink. Those in power fear him and pay him homage.\nAt sixty-five\, after four decades of a brilliant career\, he’s at the height of his powers. But this all changes when he’s paid an unexpected visit from a young woman who upends his sense of personal history and forces him to re-evaluate his life and work\, questioning his position in the world.\nIn “Reputations\,” Juan Gabriel Vasquez examines the weight of the past\, how a public persona intersects with private histories\, and the burdens and surprises of memory. In this intimate novel\, Vasquez plumbs universal experiences to create a masterful story\, one that reverberates long after you turn the final page.
