Don't Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets - Patricio Pron - Bog

A bold new novel about how art became politics and politics became crime, from one of Granta's Best Young Spanish-Language NovelistsPinerolo, Italy, April 1945. At a fascist conference, a writer disappears and is found dead at the bottom of a cliff. Thirty years later, a young man--a political activist or maybe a terrorist--interviews the survivors to try to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. Who was this writer? What did he believe in? Why, shortly before his death, did he save a man who could have killed him? Where is his lost work? And what does any of this have to do with a teenager in contemporary Milan involved in a violent confrontation with the police?
