Read the new Author's Afterword: A Project For Memory
from the french translation due out in Spring, 2008, from Daniel Arsand/Éditions Phébus

...This novel is set in an Argentina trying to acknowledge the "dirty war" of 1976-83. Unger's emotionally complicated story is a grisly sequel to El Yanqui, which took place in a more benign period, before the country's political passions went from the operatic to the truly terrifying.
— Thomas Mallon, The Washington Post Book World (year-end pick in the category of historical fiction).

...Unger's writing is low-keyed yet taut; through Diego, he serves as witness and conscience, fashioning an eloquent testament against human-rights abuses.
— Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

...Diego's love for the brothers, mixed with the guilty fear that he may have influenced their politics (and the fact that his own brother is a Vietnam veteran living on the streets) gives Voices from Silence an emotional authenticity rarely found in American accounts of other nation's tragedies.
— Willamette Week

...Mr. Unger's Argentina is a place of multiple torments, many of them warring within individuals... Voices from Silence seems more in the greatest tradition of the 19th century novel, that powerful scourge of injustice as well as print's most copious form of infotainment: filled with data and sensation and a realism that is magical all by itself.
