Summary "This book is a cultural and aesthetic analysis of the complex relation between state police agencies and intellectuals and writers in Latin America during the Cold War. What did agents care about when they spied on writers and artists? Did state surveillance impact the creation of writers; and, if so, how? What did it mean to live and write in a society torn between anticommunist paranoia and revolutionary rhetoric?"-- Provided by publisher.
