After twelve years in exile, Chile's leading film director, Miguel Littin, returned-in disguise-to shoot a clandestine film about Pinochet's Chile. His voice and experience are recorded here by Nobel Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Miguel Littin, permanently exiled by Chile's dictator, illegally entered his native country in the fall of 1985, disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. Formerly dark, bearded, and portly, his new persona-reflected in this revealing first-person account-finds him slimmed down, beardless, and light-haired. Littin had to learn anew his laugh, his walk, and each of his gestures. While simultaneously directing five film crews on several locations, he became an actor playing a role that required perfection: anything less would be exposure. His purpose: to film his beloved, despoiled country as it is today, to record the ‘abominable silences' of a country under siege." –From the dust wrapper.
