The popular television series Narcos captures only half the truth. Here, at last, is the full story.
Until now, we believed that everything had been said about the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the most infamous drug kingpin of all time. But these versions have always been told from the outside, never from the intimacy of his own home.
More than two decades after the full-fledged manhunt finally caught up with the king of cocaine, Juan Pablo Escobar travels to the past to reveal an unabridged version of his father―a man capable of committing the most extreme acts of cruelty while simultaneously professing infinite love for his family.
This is not the story of a child seeking redemption for his father, but a shocking look at the consequences of violence and the overwhelming need for peace and forgiveness.
Juan Pablo Escobar, son of the leader of the Medellín cartel, Pablo Escobar, is an architect, lecturer, drug policy reform advocate, and writer. He was a subject of the award-winning documentary Sins of My Father and lives in Argentina.
Luis Moreno, a voice actor, has narrated several audiobooks throughout his career.
Andrea Rosenberg translates from Spanish and Portuguese. Her work has appeared in a variety of publications including the Buenos Aires Review, the Iowa Review, the Quarterly Conversation, and In Translation.
Reviews
“The matter-of-fact prose serves the material well—when one’s daily life is a surreal blur of excess and danger, there’s no need for embellishment.”
“Escobar writes earnestly…Will satisfy curiosity regarding the tawdry reality of childhood within a criminal family.”
“In addition to exposing unknown personal relationships, [the book] reveals more insight on the mysterious death of Escobar.”
