Imagining Argentina Paperback - 1991
by Lawrence Thornton
A political novel about "los desaparecidos" (the disappeareds), in Argentina during the late 1970s, it tells the mesmerizing story of Carlos Rueda, a man who discovers, after his own wife disappears, that he can imagine the fate of other disappeareds, but not his own Cecilia.
From the jacket flap
"Imagining Argentina is set in the dark days of the late 1970's, when thousands of Argentineans disappeared without a trace into the general's prison cells and torture chambers. When Carlos Ruweda's wife is suddenly taken from him, he discovers a magical gift: In waking dreams, he had clear visions of the fates of "the disappeared." But he cannot "imagine" what has happened to his own wife. Driven to near madness, his mind cannot be taken away: imagination, stories, and the mystical secrets of the human spirit.
