A member of the secret police walks into the office of a dissident magazine and finds a reporter, who records his testimony. The narrator of Nona Fernndezs mesmerizing and terrifying novel The Twilight Zone is a child when she first sees this mans face on the magazines cover with the words I Tortured People. His complicity in the worst crimes of the regime and his commitment to speaking about them haunt the narrator into her adulthood and career as a writer and documentarian. Like a secret service agent from the future, through extraordinary feats of the imagination, Fernndez follows the man who tortured people to places that archives cant reach, into the sinister twilight zone of history where morning routines, a game of chess, Yuri Gagarin, and the eponymous TV show of the novels title coexist with the brutal yet commonplace machinations of the regime.
