Book Description
Nora Strejilevich was a young woman when her brother and other family members and friends disappeared at the hands of the military junta that held power in Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Ostensibly part of an official campaign to crush a left-wing rebellion, the violence perpetrated by the junta far exceeded anything the leftists ever dreamed of, enveloping not only the revolutionary left but other dissidents and civilians as well, and particularly targeting the Jewish population. A desaparecida herself, Strejilevich survived kidnapping and torture to speak of her experience with a dignified voice and a clear-eyed realism that extends from one end of the political spectrum to the other.In the first English translation of her elegant fictional memoir Una sola muerte numerosa, Strejilevich combines autobiography, documentary journalism, fiction, and poetry to express the "choir of voices" of the more than 30,000 souls who were imprisoned, abused, and assassinated. She engages the reader in the history of a bloody military coup and state-perpetrated anti-Semitism, exploring themes of exile, identity, and violence. Above all, A Single, Numberless Death is Nora Strejilevich's gripping story of survival.
