After the disaster, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales, and in <i>Deep Down Dark, </i>he brings them to haunting, visceral life. We learn what it was like to be imprisoned inside a mountain, understand the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and experience the awe of working in such a place-one filled with danger and that often felt alive. A masterwork of narrative journalism and a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit, <i>Deep Down Dark</i> captures the profound ways in which the lives of everyone involved in the catastrophe were forever changed.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Héctor Tobar<br><b>Publisher:</b> Picador USA<br><b>Published:</b> 09/01/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 336<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781250074850<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>New York Times Book Review</i> 09/06/2015 pg. 24<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Héctor Tobar</b> is a Pulitz
