Riassunto

With the military junta in power in Chile, and in ruthless pursuit of all who oppose it, 16-year-old Andres Larreta becomes a wanted man. To be seen with others is to put them in peril, and to be captured is to risk a journey to the dreaded House of Laughter. This novel won The Other Award.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

'In Chile, where the military Junta rules, knowing the truth is enough to put your life at risk.'

Here was terrible danger. The photographer had been snapped by the officer's eye. He turned to Andres: 'Take this – I beg you. The film in that camera...'

For an eternal second Andres stood and watched as the journalist was dragged away. He trembled as if touched by an electrified fence. Till now, he had wandered helplessly, insignificant. His brain, his heart, his passionate resolve – they were nothing in the face of the Junta's untouchable strength.

But now, a brief encounter has changed everything. All at once, he has a direction. The film is worth more than bullets. He must join those brave people who are speaking out, no longer talking in whispers.
