Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. Marcom's acclaimed previous novels, THREE APPLES FELL FROM HEAVEN (2001) and THE DAYDREAMING BOY (2004), explored the reverberations of the Armenian genocide in the blurred memories and fantasies of her protagonists. Again emphasizing the persistence of atrocity, her latest novel explores the psyche of a man haunted by a young Mayan girl who was brutally killed in the Guatemalan civil war. Although our protagonist knew some sort of love with the innocent Marta, and his mind continues to revisit real or imagined encounters, his apparent complicity in her horrifying torture and murder stains his memories with a sad longing that may or may not properly be called guilt. The feeling is intensified by the contrast between our protagonist's dead and solitary life of freeways, television, and sanitized food in Los Angeles and the vibrant, if simple, patterns of life in Guatemala. We learn that our protagonist's mother was scarred by the Armenian genocide. Although her unsubtle condemnation of American actions in Latin America makes this work somewhat more political than her previous ones, Marcom's unique proficiency in describing souls infected by the viral contagion of violence is again on full display. {Brendan Driscoll, Booklist} As new, unread copy, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.
