Deza finds himself forced to watch Tupras collection of incriminating videotapes of important public figures. The recordings document unconventional private lives and horrific acts. The scenes enter him like a poison, contaminating everything good, yet he is powerless to counteract them. Set against a background of brutality, Poison, Shadow and Farewell asks whether violence can ever be justified and completes the extraordinary journey that has led us on a descent into hell and a reemergence, not entirely unscathed, into life. | Javier Marias Your Face Tomorrow, Volume 3 : Poison, Shadow & Farewell
