Take a sneak-peek
Memory as an impediment to ‘normal function’ and the deceptiveness of this assertion, is a trope that leads not to the final epiphany that counters the narrator’s initial erroneous suppositions, but rather, reinforces Antonio Yammara’s incapacity to confront the truth about himself and the truth about his past. The juxtaposition of news ‘printed across half a page of a national news-magazine’, of a rogue Hippopotamus once kept by the infamous drug baron Pablo Escobar, with the subjective musings of a protagonist whose memory of the past shapes the memoir ‘The Sound of Things Falling’ does little to establish the narrative authority of Yammara.
