When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped thirty-three miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking sixty-nine days. The entire world watched what transpired above-ground during the grueling and protracted rescue, but the saga of the miners’ experiences below the Earth’s surface–and the lives that led them there–has never been heard until now.
For Deep Down Dark, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales. These thirty-three men came to think of the mine, a cavern inflicting constant and thundering aural torment, as a kind of coffin, and as a church where they sought redemption through prayer. Even while still buried, they all agreed that if by some miracle any of them escaped alive, they would share their story only collectively. Héctor Tobar was the person they chose to hear, and now to tell, that story.
The result is a masterwork or narrative journalism–a riveting, at times shocking, emotionally textured account of a singular human event. Deep Down Dark brings to haunting, tactile life the experience of being imprisoned inside a mountain of stone, the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and the spiritual and mystical elements that surrounded working in such a dangerous place. In its stirring final chapters, it captures the profound way in which the lives of everyone involved in the disaster were forever changed.

Fascinating and riveting! I’ve listened to this book 3 times now.
The first time I listened to this was in the evenings, in bed, and in the dark to try to visualize the words I was hearing. At several points I had to switch on the bed lamp because the dark became claustrophobic because the author and narrator helped to create a visual interpretation in my mind’s eye.
The second time I concentrated on the descriptions of the geology of South America, Chile and the Atacama desert. (I’m fascinated with geology and plate tectonics.)
The third time was to listen very carefully concentrating on the psychology and human nature of the men: who was helping others, who was hindering others and so on.
Thank you for a very fascinating book! :)
