A kaleidoscopic, cosmopolitan novel infused with inky noir.Santiago Gamboa is one of Colombias most exciting writers. In the manner of Roberto Bolano, Gamboa infuses his kaleidoscopic, cosmopolitan stories with a dose of inky dark noir that makes his novels intensely readable, his characters unforgettable, and his style influential.Return to the Dark Valley tells the stories of four immigrants united by their need to return to their place of origin and exact vengeance. Manuela Beltran, a woman haunted by a troubled childhood she tries to escape through books and poetry Tertuliano, an Argentine preacher who claims to be the Popes son, ready to resort to extreme methods to create a harmonious society Ferdinand Palacios, a Colombian priest with a dark paramilitary past now confronted with his guilt Rimbaud, the precocious, brilliant poet whose life was incessant exploration Juana and the consul, central characters in Gamboas Night Prayers, who are united in a relationship based equally on hurt and need. These characters animate Gamboas richly imagined portrait of a turbulent world where liberation is found in perpetual movement and determined exploration.
