Information for Foreigners: Three Plays Kindle Edition
Amazon Price | New from | Used from |
One of Latin America's most important and prolific writers, Griselda Gambaro has focused on the dynamics of repression, complicity, and violence--specifically, the terror of violent regimes and their devastating effects on the moral framework of society. Information for Foreigners is a drama of disappearance, an experimental work dealing with the theme of random and meaningless punishment in which the audience is led through darkened passageways to a series of nightmarish tableaux. The collection also includes The Walls and Antigona Furiosa.

About the Author
Griselda Gambaro (born July 28, 1928) is an Argentine playwright, whose works often concern the political violence in her home country that would develop into the Dirty War. One recurring theme is the desaparecidos and the attempts to recover their bodies and memorialize them.

Great but translated to english
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 3, 2015Verified Purchase
It is a bunch of good reads, but thought it was going to be in spanish. Its in english and I feel like the authors true taste doesn't shine through in this language. Wish it had been made clear that it was in English. Clean copy and excellent condition .
