Con esta bestia de libro, Radden Keefe intenta relatar la historia del conflicto armado en Irlanda del Norte, en especial el período conocido como "the Troubles", desde 1969 en adelante. Pone especial énfasis en ciertas figuras del IRA como Dolours y Marian Price, Brendan Hughes y Gerry Adams, como también en el secuestro de una mujer llamada Jean McConville. Empezar esta lectura es como embarcarse en un viaje que te va llevando por lugares insólitos, sorprendentes y frustrantes, y cuando creés que todo terminó, aparece algo nuevo que te deja con la boca abierta. Es una historia fascinante y el autor sabe cómo contarla.
Say Nothing es, sin duda alguna, una de mis mejores lecturas del año y mi favorita de no ficción junto con Putas y Guerrilleras. En fin, no quiero seguir elogiando a Radden Keefe, hay miles de cosas para decir sobre este texto, pero no sé ni por dónde empezar. Creo que si tuviera que señalar lo que más me gustó es que nunca cae en el blanco o negro, buenos o malos, sino que se sumerge en las contradicciones y complejidades que caracterizaron a este conflicto histórico. Radden Keefe no subestima a nada ni a nadie, no simplifica, al contrario, te deja con preguntas abiertas. Te deja pensando.
