{"product_id":"confession-by-martin-kohan","title":"Confession by Martin Kohan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrutal and overwhelming, Confession wrestles with the legacy of Argentina’s past and the passions of one young girl. When Mirta López looks out the dining room window, she sees a slim, self-possessed older boy on his way back from school. It’s 1941 in provincial Argentina, and the sight has awakened in her the first uncertain, unnerving vibrations of desire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNaturally, she confesses. But she cannot stop herself. Over thirty years later, in 1977, that same young man is a general, leading the ruling military junta of a country, and a cell of young revolutionaries plot an audacious attack on him, and the regime.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriting from the present into the past, Martín Kohan maps the contours of Argentina’s 20th century, but finds his centre in one woman – devout, headstrong, lit up with ideas of right and wrong – not the grand historical figures of her lifetime’s omnipresent, brutalizing history. And yet, there is great beauty in Confession , its decades and landscapes, and the legacy of love and guilt, pieties religious and civic, that play out in one family and against the background of dictatorship’s traumas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication: 5 Sept 2023, Charco Press\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781913867652\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 165 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57079002562942,"sku":null,"price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/confession.webp?v=1773320981","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/confession-by-martin-kohan","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
