«Una misma noche» is the suspense novel by Leopoldo Brizuela, published by Alfaguara in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
In 2010, writer Leonardo Bazán witnesses an organized gang's assault on his neighbors' house and relives an almost identical episode he saw with his parents in that same dwelling in 1976, at the start of Argentina's military dictatorship. Needing to understand what happened, Bazán embarks on an investigation that combines personal memory with exposure to organized crime, forcing him to ask how those reactions are judged today and how far the responsibility extends of those who remain silent in the face of violence.
It won the 2012 Alfaguara Novel Prize, awarded by a jury chaired by Rosa Montero.
Recommended for readers of existential thrillers and narrative that draws on Argentina's recent history to reflect on evil and cowardice.
Leopoldo Brizuela was an Argentine journalist, writer, and translator. He was born in La Plata in 1963.
