| Summary: | "The Silentiary (1964) happens in a nameless Latin-American city during the years after World War II. A young man employed in mid-level management entertains an ambition to write a book of some sort. But first he must establish the necessary preconditions. It is the second of three novels by Antonio Di Benedetto that have come to be known as the Trilogy of Expectation in allusion to the dedication of the first one, Zama (1956), 'To the victims of expectation.' Together they constitute, in Juan José Saer's words, 'one of the culminating moments of 20th-century narrative fiction in Spanish.'"-- |
