Lost City Radio

Lost City Radio is a 2007 novel written by Daniel Alarcón.

After a ten-year insurrection set in a nameless South American country in which the totalitarian government defeated a rebel group, the government has eliminated all indigenous languages and renamed all places as numbers; radio is the only remaining convenience.

The protagonist, Norma, is the voice of a popular radio show that attempts to reconnect war refugees with their families.

Yet Norma too has lost during the war: her husband disappeared on a trip to a jungle village called 1797.

Though the novel is set in Latin America it does not contain a single word of Spanish.
