Colombian writer Juan Gabriel Vasquez discusses his latest novel, Reputations.
Praise for Juan Gabriel Vasquez:
“The narrative escalates, the mystery deepens, and the scope of the story widens with each page. This terrific novel draws on Colombia’s tragic history and cycles of violence to tell the story of a troubled man trying to come to grips with the distant forces and events that have shaped his life.” —Khaled Hosseini
“A fine and frightening study of how the past preys upon the present…” —John Banville
“I felt myself under the spell of a masterful writer. Juan Gabriel Vásquez has many gifts–intelligence, wit, energy, a deep vein of feeling–but he uses them so naturally that soon enough one forgets one’s amazement at his talents, and then the strange, beautiful sorcery of his tale takes hold.” —Nicole Krauss
