“In this novel, Silva Romero explores with clarity and precision the way violence weighs on a society like Colombia, which seems to have naturalized it in a disturbing way.” —ADN Bogotá

“Written in visceral prose.” —El Tiempo (Colombia)

“A book that will persist as a key representative of literature dealing with the violence that devastated this country during the armed conflict.” —El Espectador (Colombia)

“Río Muerto is a portrait of Colombia turned into a book, a work we should have in our homes and read with our families instead of watching the news bulletins. (…) This short novel by Ricardo Silva Romero encapsulates a hope beyond the kind revealed in the story itself: the kind of hope that reflects the power of contemporary Colombian fiction to convert the horror of war into literary art.” —Diario de Paz Colombia

“In Río Muerto, Ricardo Silva Romero recreates in poetic and intense prose another side of the horror of our era.” —Abisinia Review (Colombia)
