Poemas de un novelista

Rate this book
Poemas de un novelista reúne la escasa producción poética del chileno José Donoso. Muchos de estos poemas, “refugio de las monstruosidades de la prosa” para el autor, fueron escritos durante los años que vivió junto a su mujer y su hija- en España. Sitges, Madrid y Calaceite. Sobre todo Calaceite, un pueblecito de la comarca turolense del Matarraña donde la familia Donoso encontró refugio y espacio creativo entre los años 1972 y 1976 y que acabó por convertirse en un foco cultural por el que pasaron desde García Márquez a Vargas Llosa, entre otros escritores latinoamericanos, además de muchos intelectuales españoles como Luis Buñuel, los Moix, Rosa Regás, Gil de Biedma o Carlos Barral. Entre aquellos amigos que los visitaron estuvo también Jorge Edwards, premio Cervantes en 1999, que ha escrito un prólogo para la presente edición de los Poemas de un novelista, la primera que se publica en España.

From Wikipedia: José Manuel Donoso Yáñez (5 October 1924 – 7 December 1996), known as José Donoso, was a Chilean writer, journalist and professor. He lived most of his life in Chile, although he spent many years in self-imposed exile in Mexico, the United States and Spain. Although he had left his country in the sixties for personal reasons, after 1973 he said his exile was also a form of protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. He returned to Chile in 1981 and lived there until his death.

Donoso is the author of a number of short stories and novels, which contributed greatly to the Latin American literary boom. His best known works include the novels Coronación (Coronation), El lugar sin límites (Hell Has No Limits) and El obsceno pájaro de la noche (The Obscene Bird of Night). His works deal with a number of themes, including sexuality, the duplicity of identity, psychology, and a sense of dark humor.
