Liliana Heker is one of the most remarkable voices of the Argentinean
generation after Borges ... her fiction chronicles the small tragedies
that take place within the vast tragedy of our history. A universal and
indispensable writer. - Alberto Manguel
When Diana Glass witnesses Leonora's abduction from a street in Buenos
Aires, she despairs that her friend has joined the ranks of los
desaparaecidos, the missing ones. She begins to write the story of their
friendship, but certain memories, details, and whispered allegations
about Leonora's fate consistently intrude. Leonora was born to drink
life down to the bottom of the glass. But, Diana wonders, is that
necessarily a virtue?
Gripping, intelligent, and intricately structured, Liliana Heker's novel
of an unstable revolutionary pasionaria has inflamed readers across
Latin America. The End of the Story is a shocking study of the
pyschology of torture, and a tragic portrait of Argentina's Dirty War.
