My Own Design A Helmet

Continental Great Authors: José Donoso

often say that Chile is a land of poets, we can not deny the fruitfulness of the lyrics on our borders, but names such as Manuel Rojas and Juan Emar in the forefront, Jose Donoso as a representative and biographer of the boom and aen Eltit Diamela recent years as one of the most interesting of the new postmodern American narrative, support the conclusion that the clipped prose and therefore, it is fair to mention these figures and do not reduce the prospects of our literature to a mere genre .

This time, I want to live José Donoso (Chile 1924-1996) , and although he was no longer with us materially, will remain one of the most interesting and influential names in the novel in Chile and why not say it in Latin America. We usually

frame to the boom in insurance limits: The Green House , One Hundred Years of Solitude and Rayuela, but what about the Cuban Guillermo Cabrera Infante, the Mexican Carlos Fuentes and of course our compatriot, the Scriptwriter intruder. His magnum opus, The Obscene Bird of Night, is a monumental novel, labyrinthine coral as it was defined. With it invites us to destroy these determinants and preconceived frameworks. Provides us with majesty, with a cruel portrait yet sublime of our social and human identity.

fragmented watchful eyes that break the struggle for individuality and found mutations in each atmosphere plagued by otherness. Power, obsessions, fears, frustration. It is a novel world as Balzac intended, but in a more exotic than French. Donoso here no stereotypes or human figures defined by their work or mere social position, but psychology, pathology revealing much of the Chilean , pattern or pretentious farm that boasts of its name or hidden behind appearances. We know the orphan, the peripheral, the loyal employee and lineages bastards who are swindled.

is very easy to get lost and found in the pages of this book, its five hundred sheets are as baroque and mannerism as the mind of the author and the corridors of the House of the Incarnation of Chimba scenario that takes place mostly this piece. It brings together the author's life experience, prior stroke the path with the place without boundaries, and Coronation Sunday. His ghost vessels that communicate with the lumpen bourgeoisie through the servants but richly tinged with elements of mythology and Genesis. To that extent, how can we forget the Rinconada and hydrocephalic population of giants, dwarfs empratrices obese women. Donoso defies the canons, intellect and aesthetic scheme of the reader.

In his hands, the allegories of verticality tyrannical boil and sexuality and its variants, allow us to question the problem of roles, what is feminine and masculine? What causes the deviations and the violent misogyny, homoeroticism, ambiguity and cancellation of the body. The images eventually turn into beautiful nightmares or bad dreams disastrous death as he preferred to call them. This amount brings forth a cosmogony of aberrant creatures and new myths to redefine the unconscious ideology and symbols of our past that will define the paths of the future.

Y como hombre, qué podemos decir. Donoso no negó jamás su condición de burgués. Muchos lo criticaran por eso, hiriéndolo desde el partidismo o la voz comprometida. Similares críticas recibieron Unamuno y los noventa y ochistas. Como en el caso de los españoles, su compromiso fue siempre con la literatura, su arma y portento. Y en lo relativo a su posición privilegiada, creo que hay que indagar mejor en su biografía y ver como trazó su camino de forma personal y consciente, basado en su trabajo y no en el apellido y tradición. El cual aprovecho, pero en un sentido opuesto. Él fue el primero en hurgar los trapos sucios y mitos en torno a su casta. In Coronation House and on Sunday, openly bare her own lineage and from that point, the operator does not hesitate to extend the task to all around him, including himself and of course Chile, the continent and I dare say even the world.

For him, we are in a pot bastard that all fed back so we mixed, harmful, well-meaning, because, tragically, giving rise to unrelated discourses, identities mutilated human puzzle that we try to split, to categorize and framing for fear of shame, to look at the trial and shame. But how to achieve truth and not suffer the reproach of our conscience, if truth is that chastity and self-imposed white, but a chaos and millions of self contradictory.

Its main trip is then toward nudity, the term of repression and disambiguation in each area of \u200b\u200bthe body and mind. In the meantime we just stamps and frustrated projects.

that extent I think that Donovan, as his friends as defined boom, the most literary of literary was also the most committed, perhaps not politically but socially and psychologically with man. Since its activity, which made up the last of his days, boasting of living in each of his creations blind adventure of self discovery and loss, he paleo any bias and image and proved to be a project more than his fictions that we rethink how precarious reality.
