The "disappeared" of post-Peron Argentina is the topic of this novel, the story of the abduction of Pato Poznan, a young Jewish student, and the resulting collapse of his family. Somehow the horror and hopelessness is conveyed with humor--but this is most certainly not a funny book. It was one of the most powerful novels I've ever read. Nathan Englander is a phenomenon.
