The Heart That Bleeds: Latin America Now

“Powerful…a literary gem…wonderfully written dispatches that capture the richness and intensity of Latin America’s reality. Those wanting a feel for the spirit of Latin America or what lies behind the headlines will hardly find more vivid accounts of the region’s recent history.”–The Miami Herald “The Heart That Bleeds is the work of a master…Guillermoprieto has brought back reports that are unforgettable, brave in their clearsightedness, but unstinting, too, in their passion and sympathy. The countries of Latin America now have their Orwell.”–David Remnick
