About this title

Review:

"Exhilarating for its finely tuned unfolding but somber in its conclusions, Konfidenz demands a fundamental reexamination of the nature of trust."

"One of the most important voices coming out of Latin America."

"With Konfidenz, Dorfman steps confidently from the realm of Latin American Storyteller into the arena of a world novelist of the first category."

"One of the SIX greatest living Latin American novelists."

"Dorfman pushes the outer limit of the fictional envelope as daringly and imaginatively as Julio Cortazar and Gabriel Garcia Marquez."

"Dorfman uses the tension of an unstable political situation to force the reader into questioning his characters' stated truths, as well as their motivations. Exhilarating for its finely tuned unfolding but somber in its conclusions, Konfidenz demands a fundamental reexamination of the nature of trust."--Publishers Weekly
