Thornton, Lawrence
Imagining Argentina / Lawrence Thornton [A]. -- New York : Batam, c1987

This story is set in the dark days of the late 1970s, when thousands of Argentinians disappeared without a trace into the generals' prision cells and torture chambers. When Carlos Rueda's wife is suddenly taken from him, he discovers a magical gift: in waking dreams, he has clear visions of the fates of "the dissappeareds". But he cannot "imagine" what has happened to his own wife. Driven to near madness, he turns to the only weapon he has: imagination, stories, and the mystical secrets of the human spirit.
