Description

Juan Gabriel Vásquez's The Shape of the Ruins intricately investigates two pivotal political assassinations in Colombia: Rafael Uribe Uribe in 1914 and Jorge Eliécer Gaitán in 1948. Through a blend of personal inquiry and historical fact, Vásquez masterfully reveals how these seemingly disparate events are fundamentally linked, containing the origins of the persistent violence that has plagued the nation.
