Truck Of Fools

A political dissident who was jailed and tortured by Uruguayas military regime, Carlos Liscano movingly recounts those experiences in Truck of Fools. His narrative, a mosaic of brief, powerful vignettes, offers unique insight into the physical and psychological plight of the prisoner, as well as into the mindset of his tormentors. Liscano survived these horrors to become a gifted writer and Uruguayas most well known novelist.
