1989. Salvadorian society is immersed in the horror of civil war. On a fateful November dawn, a group of armed men entered the Universidad Católica and murder six Jesuits priests and two women in cold blood. Survivor of the massacre Father Tojeira is forced to take the reins of control in the sinister days following the attack, desperate to uncover the truth behind the terrible slaughter.
Inspired by the real-life tragic events that shook El Salvador and Latin America, November is a moving and unsettling novel about fear, hate and impunity. It is the first book to cast some light on the crime that was never solved and an attempt to speak out, as the murdered Jesuits attempted to do, in the defence of the disadvantaged.
Jorge Galan was born in San Salvador, El Salvador, in 1973. He is an Arts and Letters graduate of the Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas (UCA). He is a poet and writer and has received several literary awards, both national and internationally, including the Premio Nacional de Novela Corta (National Prize for Short Stories) and the Gran Maestre de Poesia Nacional de El Salvador, which he was awarded after receiving three National Poetry Prizes in 1996, 1998 and 1999.
