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.

La tesis de pregrado de José Donoso, autor de él que aún no leo nada, pero conozco El lugar sin límites que quizás lea a futuro. José Donoso analiza cada heroína de las novelas de Jane Austen, les asigna su rol dentro de los valores de su época en el siglo XVIII, sirviéndose en gran parte para esto del célebre ensayo de Edmund Burke.

No creo que el ensayo me haya aportado muchas cosas nuevas, pero disfruté mucho observar el amor del autor tanto por Jane Austen como por Virginia Woolf

Amo leer sobre Jane Austen, así que fue una suerte encontrar este libro en mi trabajo, así que sabía que iba a leerlo.
José Donoso hace un muy buen trabajo analizando los distintos aspectos de cada una de las heroínas de Austen. Analiza desde la construcción de estas hasta su desarrollo en la historia.

No lo alcance a od... pero enserio me va a tratar a Catherine Morland de patética?
