500 $aOriginally published as Los Vigilantes.
520 1 $a"From St. Augustine's Rule, charging monks to keep custody of their eyes so as to avoid shame, down to Bentham's and Foucault's secular Panopticon, imposing custody through surveillance, vigilance is an ever-present, threatening condition of our society. The individual "is very much seen, even by those he thinks do not see him," cautioned Augustine, with satisfaction. Diamela Eltit's new novel remarkably concentrates this oppression from without in the double-voiced narrative of a woman and child whose home becomes their prison, subject to the command of order, as in Pinochet's Chile - shattered by insidious laughter, consumed in an ultimate conflagration."--BOOK JACKET.
