Moya does not try to understand “genocide,” but rather examines the notion of genocide as it exists, filtered through one person’s psyche. The result is a shockingly detailed, brutally credible, and unexpectedly comedic novel. Moya, who was born in Honduras and raised in El Salvador, was exiled because of his socially conscious opinons. “Senselessness” is based on the atrocities of the 40-year Guatemalan genocide and the human rights...
