Nacho Caiciedo, a magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice, lives with his wife Alma and their six grown daughters. The Caiciedos have planned an enormous celebration in their home. But before the party has even started, the family is shocked by two pieces of news: their teenage daughter Italia is pregnant, and Alma's prodigal brother Jesús is expected at any moment. Guests from all levels of Bogotá society arrive, two earthquakes strike, and the party descends into debauchery; Nacho, out in the city streets, searching for Italia, is kidnapped by a ragtag militia, and its troops eventually invade the party and bring more chaos. \u003cem\u003eHouse of Fury\u003c\/em\u003e begins as a black comedy and unravels into a grim portent of the conflict that would rage across Colombia for fifty years.

The novel tells about the demise of a crumbling house in Medellín, Colombia. Fernando, a writer, visits his brother Darío, who is dying of AIDS. Recounting their wild philandering and trying to come to terms with his beloved brother's inevitable death, Fernando rants against the political forces that cause so much suffering. Vallejo is the heir to Céline, Thomas Paine, and Machado de Assis. He hurls vitriolic, savagely funny insults at his country (\"I wipe my ass with the new Constitution of Colombia\") and at his mother (\"the Crazy Bitch\") who has given birth to him and his many siblings. Within this firestorm of pain, Fernando manages to get across much beauty and truth: that all love is painful and washed in pure sorrow. He loves his sick brother and the family's Santa Anita farm (the lost paradise of his childhood where azaleas bloomed); and he even loves his country, now torn to shreds. Always, in this savage masterpiece about loss--as if in the eye of Vallejo's hurricane of talent--we are in the curiously comforting workings of memory and of the writing process itself, as, recollecting time, it offers immortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando Vallejo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.01h x 5.26w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811238519\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSiegert, Yvette:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - The poet \u003cstrong\u003eYvette Siegert\u003c\/strong\u003e has also translated \u003cem\u003eThe Reef \u003c\/em\u003eby Juan Villoro and Alejandra Pizarnik's poetry collections \u003cem\u003eA Musical Hell, Diana's Tree\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eExtracting the Stone of Madness\u003c\/em\u003e, for which she won the 2017 Best Translated Book Award.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVallejo, Fernando:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Fernando Vallejo, the acclaimed Colombian writer, filmmaker and public intellectual, was born in 1942 in Medellín, Colombia and obtained Mexican nationality in 2007.

La respuesta de las fuerzas armadas fue retomar el lugar a toda costa, y el resultado es uno de los episodios más salvajes y trágicos de la historia reciente de Colombia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEste Mural nos hace testigos de primera mano de las nostálgicas imágenes del Palacio de Justicia antes de convertirse en una ruina funesta. Y luego, gracias a la mirada luminosa y compasiva de Ricardo Silva Romero, somos espectadores de la miseria, el horror, la deshonra, pero también de la humanidad, la misericordia y la cordura perdidas en la toma. Mural logra con maestría ejecutar la magia de la ficción: llenar de vida a sus personajes a pesar de la muerte, plantarnos en el lugar mundano de las deficiencias y los errores, devolvernos a la gracia de reconocer los matices en todos los hechos y todas las personas, reivindicar la experiencia de volver a contar lo sucedido a la luz de la imaginación. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Y jamás dejará de sonar inverosímil, pero la humillación, un trauma que engendra traumas, se encuentra detrás de las guerras más desquiciadas, más apocalípticas que hayan desfigurado este mundo\". \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending personal memoir, novel, and historical account, this powerful book portrays one of the most emblematic and devastating events in Colombia's recent history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn Wednesday, November 6, 1985, the M-19 guerrilla stormed the courthouse--the seat of Colombia's highest courts, where they put their lives at stake for the law--in a bloody takeover. The armed forces responded by retaking the building at all costs, which resulted in one of the most savage and tragic episodes in the country's modern history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMural allows us to witness firsthand the haunting images of the courthouse before it became a dismal ruin. And after, through the luminous and compassionate gaze of Ricardo Silva Romero, we become spectators of misery, horror, and disgrace--but also of the humanity, mercy, and reason lost amid the chaos. With a masterful control of the magic of fiction, Mural breathes life into its characters despite death, places us in the flawed and fragile realm of human shortcomings and errors, restores our ability to perceive nuance in every act and every person, and reclaims the power of imagination to retell what happened. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"And it will never cease to sound implausible, but humiliation--a trauma that breeds more traumas--lies behind the most deranged, most apocalyptic wars that have ever disfigured this world.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricardo Silva Romero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfaguara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 5.68w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786287778818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRicardo Silva Romero\u003c\/b\u003e.
