Attorney on the Run

My Journey from Colombia to Canada. This is a real story. It is narrated autobiographically, and it tells of a series of events that could happen anywhere in Colombia. The names of the places or people do not matter, since these same events are repeated all throughout the whole country. There are very few voices that rise above the fear, threats or the generalized indifference, to denounce the mechanisms of corruption and violence that are forcefully imposed, even on those who represent the State/country, much like the protagonist of these revelations.

Elsi Angulo wrote this book pouring out her soul in each phrase, and this has resulted in a work that not only has the moral value of a denunciation, the political value of the testimony of  the attacks on a race and the place they call home, but also the aesthetic value of showing us a reality so raw, so unfair, that it seems unlikely ... but it is not. This book was published, in its first edition, in 2007, under the pseudonym of ‘Gaby Márquez’.
