Praise for Santiago Gamboa "Gamboa's wide-ranging plot lines keep the reader moving at a rapid pace." -- Seeing the World Through Books about Night Prayers "Gamboa's storytelling impresses." -- The Complete Review about Night Prayers "Gamboa's strength is an apparently inexhaustible stream of narriative invention, an addictive 'and then, and then' quality that, at its best, erupts into flourishes of breathtaking poetry." --S helf Awareness about Necropolis "Each novel by Santiago Gamboa is at the forefront of the best Latin American novels. Gamboa dismantles the legacy of Chandler and Hammett, adapting it to the craggy environs of Colombia, and adds to it a tireless sense of ethics. His novels revitalize a genre that we thought could do no more." --Martín Solares, author of The Black Minutes , about Necropolis "This novel stands on its own as a masterwork of storytelling." -- Publishers Weekly about Necropolis "A work that is by turns tender, farcical, explicit, bombastic and never less than engrossing." -- The Irish Times about Necropolis, Praise for Santiago Gamboa "Gamboa's wide-ranging plot lines keep the reader moving at a rapid pace." -- Seeing the World Through Books about Night Prayers "Gamboa's storytelling impresses." -- The Complete Review about Night Prayers "Gamboa's strength is an apparently inexhaustible stream of narriative invention, an addictive 'and then, and then' quality that, at its best, erupts into flourishes of breathtaking poetry." --S helf Awareness about Necropolis "Each novel by Santiago Gamboa is at the forefront of the best Latin American novels.

Synopsis
"A Colombian philosophy student is arrested in Bangkok and accused of drug traf cking. He risks the death penalty, but what weighs most heavily on him, is a tender longing for his sister Juana. Before he dies he wants nothing more than to be reunited with her. As a boy, Manuel was a dreamer, a lover of literature, and a tagger. Juana promised to do everything in her power to protect him from the drug and violence-infested streets of Bogota. Determined to take him far away from Colombia, Juana took extreme measures to raise the money. When things spun out of control she was forced to flee, leaving her beloved brother behind. Juana and Manuel's story reaches the ears of the Colombian counsel general in New Delhi, who takes it upon himself to reunite the two siblings. A feat that may be beyond his power. Fans of both Roberto Bolano and Gabriel Garcia Marquez will find much to admire in this story about the mean streets of Bogota, the sordid bordellos of Thailand, and a love between siblings that knows no end. With the stylishness that has earned him a reputation as one of ""the most important Colombian writers"" (Manuel Vazquez Montalban), Santiago Gamboa lends his story a driving, irresistible rhythm.", A thrilling literary novel about crime and corruption in Latin America told in alternating voices and perspectives, Night Prayers is the story of Manuel, a Colombian philosophy student arrested in Bangkok and accused of drug trafficking.

- _***i (66)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaGood shipping, packaging, and was as described. God value as well, especially with the content of the cd. I am happy to have found this cd of one of the most important animal activists. In the cd, Gary Yourofsky shares the moral imperative of granting animals their negative rights. Like the right not to be enslaved and murdered! He shares the vegan message, a message that in my view, grants animals the same rights as human beings if they were to be trait equalized.
