«Your Fathers, Where Are They? And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever?» is the novel by Dave Eggers, in paperback (212 pages, in English).
Thomas takes Kev, a NASA astronaut, to an abandoned military base by the ocean and keeps him chained up to force him to talk. Kev doesn't recognise his captor and calls for help, but the wind and waves drown out his cries. Thomas insists he didn't want to go that far: Kev wasn't answering his messages and they needed to talk.
