Críticas
'A beautiful and profoundly moving work . . . an irreplaceable testimony of the struggle for democracy and tolerance in Latin America'
El Pais
'A tremendous and necessary book, devastatingly courageous and honest. At times I wondered how he was brave enough to write it'
JAVIER CERCAS
'It is very difficult to summarize Oblivion without betraying it, because, like all great works, it is many things at once. To say that it is a heartrending memoir of the author's family and father -- who was murdered by a hired assassin -- is true, but paltry and infinitesimal, because the book is also a moving immersion into the inferno of Colombian political violence, into the life and soul of the city of Medellin, into the private life and public courage of a family, a true story that is also a superb fiction due to the way itis written and constructed, and one of the most eloquent arguments written in our time or any time against terror as an instrument of political action'

Reseña del editor
Oblivion is a heartrending, exquisitely written memorial to the author's father, Hector Abad Gomez, whose criticism of the Colombian regime led to his murder by paramilitaries in 1987. Twenty years in the writing, it paints an unforgettable picture of a man who followed his conscience and paid for it with his life, during one of the darkest periods in Latin America's recent history.
