Clandestine in Chile by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I originally picked up this book because I thought it was a short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. When I realised it was a true story about the Chilean director Miguel Littin, I was worried that I might be bored. I should not have worried.

This account of the exile's illegal entry to Chile in 1985 to film life under General Pinochet is exciting and informative. It was a relief at times to remember that Littin had met with Marquez to tell him his story!
