Yay for Lewis! Slam is one of my al time favorite novels. Looking forward to this one.

Glimpses was an exceptionally good book.

Yes, thank you for the correction. Sometimes it’s hard for me to keep straight the long record of U.S. adventures abroad.

Regarding Argentina, this helps, and maybe with Shiner’s novel too (which I really gotta get and read!)–

Argentina does have a 9-11: teacher’s day.
Perhaps you meant Chile’s 9-11, date of the CIA-backed coup against Salvador Allende.

Laptop leapt out at me too. Whoever designed and/or signed that cover off needs one in the kneecap. Maybe from that huge, perspective-distorted revolver.

Oh, dear. I’ll have to read this book. I lived in Argentina as an ex-pat in the early 70′s at the time Perón returned from Spain.I never did find out if my Argentine friends from that time survived the bad years.

By the looks of that laptop, it may also be honest about the part the U.S. played in fomenting the action-packed, ugly history of Argentina (home of the original 9-11).
