The Subsidiary

By Matías Celedón

All hell breaks loose when a power outage shuts down a major Latin American corporation; using the stamps he has for marking official documents, one employee bears witness. The Subsidiary could be called 'a corporate Heart Of Darkness'; just as Conrad's novella was an indictment of the barbarism of imperialism, Celedon's is a violent dramatisation of the dark side of corporate life - that also nods suggestively (for a writer who grew up in the shadow of Pinochet) at the government forces that might be behind it.
