Drawing on the legacy of Argentina`s Dirty War, Carlos Gamerro`s An Open Secret is a compelling postmodern thriller confronting guilt, complicity & the treachery of language itself. Dario Ezcurra is one of the thousands of Argentinians unlucky enough to be `disappeared` by the military government-murdered by the local chief of police with the complicity of his friends & neighbours. Twenty years later, Fefe, a child at the time of the murder, returns to the town where Dario met his fate & attempts to discover how the community let such a crime happen. Lies, excuses & evasion ensue
- desperate attempts to deny the guilty secret of which the whole community, even Fefe himself, is afraid. Translated from the Spanish by Ian Barnett, Carlos Gamerro`s An Open Secret is published by Pushkin Press. ` Carlos Gamerro`s An Open Secret.. .has the makings of a classic`
- The Economist ` An Open Secret is paced like a taut thriller that.. .ultimately, rewards the reader.. . Gamerro creates a vivid sense of how gossip can poison a small town`
- The Independent ` An Open Secret digs away at the shallow graves of recent decades to find the pettiness, narrow-minds, & rivalries that motivated it`
- Ben Bollig, The Guardian Carlos Gamerro (b.1962) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He has published the novels Las Islas, El sueno del senor juez, El secreto y las voces, La aventura de los bustos de Eva & the book of short stories El libro de los afectos raros as well as numerous works of literary criticism. He also wrote the film script for the movie Tres de corazones (2007).

` The colonel talked to me about the women coming back to look for their husbands. What if a woman came back with a child fathered by someone from the other side, would they welcome her, ` I asked. He gave me that non-smile. ` To accept a woman who is carrying another man`s child
- that`s all part of national reconciliation.` (Chapter 12, ” War & Peace in Angola”, February 2003) The Angolan story is only another in the fantastic web of indulgence, misery, absurdity & suffering beyond expression that is bred in peace no less than war in `situations` the world over. The story told in this book involves an understanding of what is particular to Angola, but it goes far beyond that. It is a story of the extremes of the human condition &, as such, its relevance is timeless. Combining reportage & analysis, Justin Pearce shows the human face of Angola at a critical juncture in its history. Jonas Savimbi, leader of the rebel movement UNITA, was killed in February 2002. Crippled by the large imbalance between its resources & those of the MPLA government & the death of its messianic leader, UNITA collapsed, giving Angola its first extended period of peace since the nationalist uprising against Portuguese rule in the 1960s. Working as the BBC correspondent based in Luanda, Justin Pearce was the only English-speaking journalist based in Angola in 2001 & 2002. He travelled extensively in Angola, hearing the testimonies of those whose lives were shaped by political divisions & war. He was also able to observe how Angola was governed in a manner which had little in common with the ideals professed by the government since independence. This is an important book. It speaks to the non-specialist reader with an interest in African affairs; or people who have a particular interest in Angola, be it through business, humanitarian or policy development work, & who are looking for a perspective on the country`s recent social history.

After regaining independence in 1947, India immediately adopted a firmly democratic political system. The famines of the British era disappeared, along with economic stagnation; despite a recent dip, India`s growth remains among the fastest in the world. Yet, Dreze & Sen argue, there have been failures both to foster participatory growth & to make good use of the public resources generated by economic growth to enhance people`s living conditions. This book presents a powerful analysis not only of India`s deprivations & inequalities, but also of the restraints on addressing them
- & of the possibility of change through democratic practice.
