Reputations by Juan Gabriel Vásquez
4.0

“The important thing in our society is not what goes on, but who tells us what goes on.” So says Javier Mallarino, the most important political cartoonist in his country. Feared and adored equally for his ruthless drawings interpreting current events, his self-regard is as large as his legend. But when a visitor from his past appears with a devastating accusation, he begins to examine his legacy and question his life’s work. This novel shines a light on the dark psychological corners of self-righteous indignation.
