Summary

Primera novela del gran autor chileno José Donoso en la que prefigura los temas que marcarán su obra: decadencia, identidad, transgresión y locura...
 
Andrés, solitario y cincuentón, es el desconcertado testigo de los últimos días de una abuela nonagenaria que se debate entre la niebla y los relámpagos de la demencia.

Esperpéntica a la vez que realista, la primera novela del más célebre narrador chileno de este fin de siglo prefigura los temas que marcarán su obra: decadencia, identidad, transgresión y locura...
En esta obra, el lector despierta a una realidad grosera, donde los personajes desnudan sus recuerdos y la historia de algunas rancias familias santiaguinas, encerradas en caserones que nutren sus obsesiones más oscuras.

Un clásico de la novela latinoamericana.
 
«El más literario de los escritores de nuestra generación.» Carlos Fuentes
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
 
This first novel from renowned Chilean author exposes the themes that would mark his future works: deterioration of society, identity questions, transgression and madness...
 
Andres, a fifty year-old lonely man, is the bewildered witness of the last days of a ninety-plus year-old grandmother struggling with the ins and outs between the fog and clarity of dementia.
 
Grotesque yet realistic at the same time, this first novel by the most famous Chilean narrator of the end of the last century, foreshadows the themes that would mark his work: decadence, identity questions, transgression and madness ...
 
In this work, the reader wakes up to a gross reality, where the characters expose their bare memories and also the stories of some rancid families in Santiago, locked up in mansions that nurture their darkest obsessions.
 
This novel is a classic in Latin American literature.
 
“The most literary writer of our generation.” —Carlos Fuentes
