This is the next book to read. From the NYTimes review: “Oblivion” is a searing memoir written with love and blood: both family blood, the kind that’s thicker than water, and the spilled blood of barbarism and murder. From the first pages we feel the internal necessity driving this story. It is obvious that Héctor Abad had no choice but to tell it — as a personal catharsis, surely, but also as a reckoning with his country, Colombia, and its near-perpetual state of violent strife. “I draw out these memories from within,” Abad tells us, “as one gives birth, as one removes a tumor.” nytimes/2012/05/20/books/review/oblivion-a-memoir-by-hector-abad.html?_r=0
