The Dream of My Return
Description
A journalist haunted by a childhood memory of violence becomes consumed by a single, dangerous desire: to return to El Salvador as the civil war nears its end. Driven by a volatile blend of recollection and political upheaval, he sets out on a journey that quickly spirals into paranoia, escalating crises, and moral uncertainty. As his plans collide with the realities of a country in transition, the novel probes how displacement reshapes identity and how conflict leaves scars that refuse to stay in the past. With Horacio Castellanos Moya’s sharp, propulsive style and psychologically charged intensity, this is a tense exploration of memory, belonging, and the perilous pull of origins.
