| Summary: | "Biting Silence is a searingly emotional protest against censorship from exiled Bolivian writer Arturo von Vacano. The novel draws heavily on the author's own experience as a journalist repressed by dictatorship and forced to choose between silence and safety. His story is witty and sharply observed; it is also a wrenching, provocative portrait of the collision between free expression and uneasy power. And in a remarkable real-life twist, the same government that von Vacano criticizes ordered all copies of the book's Spanish-language edition burned, and it remains unavailable in its author's homeland."--Jacket. |
