      "The Abyss" is a powerful autofiction novel by Fernando Vallejo, translated from Spanish by Yvette Siegert. The story follows Fernando, a Colombian writer, as he returns to Medellin to be with his dying brother and confront his domineering mother. Through Fernando's sharp and angry narration, the novel explores themes of corruption, poverty, and hopelessness in Colombian society. The book also delves into reflections on grief, childhood memories, and existential questions. Overall, "The Abyss" offers a poignant and critical portrayal of a society in crisis.
