The Colombian novelist and journalist H茅ctor Abad discusses his memoir Oblivion, a heart-breaking tribute to his late father. H茅ctor Abad G贸mez was a medical doctor, professor and human rights campaigner in the city of Medell铆n, Colombia, whose criticism of the Colombian regime led to his brutal murder by paramilitaries in 1987. One of the most exquisitely written accounts of profound love between a father and son in modern literature, Oblivion paints a picture of a remarkable man who followed his conscience and paid for it with his life during one of the darkest periods in Latin America鈥檚 recent history.
