At about the XXnth chapter starts the detailed description of sadistic tortures that the prisoners suffer from their secret police and military torturers. Do you feel that this is a necessary description both for the integrity of the heroes as much as for the knowledge of the reader? What does it offer to the reader or to the narrative?
I believe the writer wanted to shed some light on a dark period in Latin American history. Having 'dissidents' disappeared was a popular tactic for these Latin American dictatorships.
I enjoyed the book. Fascinating read about the dictator and I believe it.
