Description
An unsettling, tightly written novel follows the Ertl clan as they attempt to disappear into Bolivia—an effort led by Hans, an egocentric former Nazi cameraman whose charisma can’t mask the fractures beneath the family’s carefully constructed normalcy. As the surrounding world shifts in the shadow of Che Guevara and revolutionary fervor, the household’s attempt at reinvention turns into a slow, haunting breakdown. Blending dark history with intimate psychological tension, the book explores guilt, identity, and the uneasy ways ideology can echo through private life. Inspired by real events and shaped by Rodrigo Hasbún’s incisive, atmospheric style, this is a brief but unforgettable descent into what it means to live—still—inside the past.
