"A novel about an old man living in the Ecuadoran jungle who is reluctantly called in to lead the hunt for an protective mother ocelet who's on a bloody rampage through the village"--

Deep in a maze of musty, forgotten hallways, Mudito rummages through piles of old newspapers. The mute caretaker of the crumbling former abbey, he is hounded by a coven of ancient witches who are bent on transforming him, bit by bit, into the terrifying imbunche: a twisted monster with all of its orifices sewn up, buried alive in its own body. Once, Mudito walked upright and spoke clearly; once he was the personal assistant to one of Chile's most powerful politicians, Jerónimo de Azcoitía. Once, he ruled over a palace of monsters, built to shield Jeronimo's deformed son from any concept of beauty. Once, he plotted with the wise woman Peta Ponce to bed Inés, Jerónimo's wife. Mudito was Humberto, Jerónimo was strong, Inés was beautiful-once upon a time... Narrated in voices that shift and multiply, The Obscene Bird of Night frets the seams between master and slave, rich and poor, reality and nightmares, man and woman, self and other in a maniacal inquiry into the horrifying transformations that power can wreak on identity.Now, star translator Megan McDowell has revised and updated the classic translation, restoring nearly twenty pages of previously untranslated text that was mysteriously cut from the 1972 edition. Newly complete, with missing motifs restored, plots deepened, and characters more richly shaded, Donoso's pajarito (little bird), as he called it, returns to print to celebrate the centennial of its author's birth in full plumage, as brilliant as it is bizarre.

Roberto Matta, Cecilia Vicuña, Alfredo Jaar, Paz Errázuriz and others offer insight into Chilean art and politicsThis volume looks closely at the Chilean experimental art scene, in which practitioners have mastered avant-garde strategies and encouraged cultural dissidence. Over the past five years Hans Ulrich Obrist interviewed three generations of Chilean artists, performers and writers, many of whom worked despite the horrific violence and censorship of the Pinochet dictatorship and now navigate through the hazy context that surrounds the post-dictatorial nation in the 21st century. This unique constellation of practices has become a model for a particular mode of postmodernism based on research and experimentation. The stunning archival images and extensive interviews organized chronologically with Roberto Matta, Juan Pablo Langlois, Catalina Parra, Sylvia Palacios Whitman, Carmen Beuchat, Eugenio Dittborn, Paz Errázuriz, Juan Dávila, Gonzalo Díaz, Cecilia Vicuña, Diamela Eltit, Raúl Zurita, Alfredo Jaar and Seba Calfuqueo offer a deeply personal insight into Chile‿s evolving culture.

"Juan Emar, der var forud for sin tid, skrev uden tvivl for fremtidens læsere, og det er lige så arrogant, som det er spændende at antage, at fremtidens læsere er os" Alejandro Zambra"Denne forløberen for dem alle testamenterede i sit fredfyldte delirium en levende verden til os, befolket af den uvirkelighed som altid er uadskillelig fra den mest varige virkelighed"Pablo Neruda I går blev en mand guillotineret for at prædike ’kærlighedens forhjernelse’ (den erotiske fornøjelse i tanken); i zoologisk have fortærede strudsen en løve; i et atelier måtte en kunstmaler forsvare beslutningen om at dedikere sig udelukkende til nuancer af grøn; ved et urinal foretog den tissende en tidsrejse … Drag med en mand og hans hustru (og hér er tale om et af litteraturhistoriens lykkeligste ægteskaber) på odyssé gennem surreelle tableauer i byen San Agustín de Tango, en intens og bizar hvirvelvind fra dagen i går.Juan Emar er pseudonym for den chilenske forfatter, maler og kunstkritiker Álvaro Yáñez Bianchi (1893-1964). Juan Emar delte sit liv mellem Santiago og Paris; i Paris blev han knyttet til datidens surrealistiske grupper, og det var her, han antog navnet Juan Emar for dets lydlige forbindelse til den franske sætning "J'en ai marre" (jeg har fået nok/jeg er røvtræt).

Von 1970 bis 1973 unternahm Chile ein politisches Experiment, das den friedlichen sozialistischen Wandel unter Wahrung der bestehenden demokratischen Institutionen zum Ziel hatte. Dieser «chilenische Weg zum Sozialismus», wie er oft genannt wurde, bot auf dem Höhepunkt des Kalten Krieges einen einzigartigen politischen dritten Weg - einen, der sich von den gegensätzlichen Modellen der Vereinigten Staaten und der Sowjetunion absetzte. Diese kurze und abrupt beendete Periode der chilenischen Geschichte führte zu einem Produkt- und Kommunikationsdesign, das eindrucksvoll zeigt, wie Design soziales Verhalten und Identität beeinfl ussen und Solidarität und Zusammenhalt fördern kann.How to Design a Revolution dokumentiert diese chilenische Bildsprache, die aus aussergewöhnlichen Umständen entstanden ist. Die Publikation bereichert die Diskussion zu den einflussreichen und folgenreichen visuellen Sprachen der sozialen (Protest)Bewegungen der 1960er und 1970er Jahre - darunter jene der kubanischen Revolution, des Vietnamkrieges und des Pariser Mais - und veranschaulicht, wie Design politische Dynamiken widerspiegelt und gleichzeitig zu einem Instrument des politischen Wandels wird.

Ny roman af forfatteren til Kramp, chilenske FerradaRamón flytter ind i et billboard ved motorvejen. Derfra er udsigten storslået, stjerner foroven, billygter forneden og dragende bjerge i baggrunden. Men de tilbageværende beboere i blokken er foruroligede: Hvad er det med, Ramón? Hvorfor? Og samtidig er der ballade med de husvilde nede ved kanalen. Hvad vil de her? De skal væk!Prisbelønnede María José Ferrada har igen skrevet en bog, der langsomt kryber under huden på sin læser og vækker uro, undren og eftertanke.12-årige Miguel er fascineret af sin onkels usædvanlige boform, men kvarteret summer af sladder om, at Ramón er gal og bringer skam over samfundet. María José Ferrada (f. 1977 i Temuco, Chile) er journalist og forfatter. Hun har skrevet en række prisbelønnede børnebøger og fik sin voksenlitterære debut i 2017 med romanen Kramp (da. 2020), der modtog den chilenske kritikerpris, det chilenske kulturministeriums pris og Premio Municipal de Literatura de Santiago – det er uden fortilfælde, at de tre priser er tildelt samme roman. Manden i billboardet har modtaget Prêmio do Círculo de Críticos de Arte de Chile, og Ferrada er fortsat på listen over de ti kvindelige chilenske forfattere, alle bør kende.

On the eve of the 1962 World Cup in Chile, a retired sports commentator with a secret ability to influence living beings with his voice encounters one of the directors of the Chilean national team—a feminist with a covert agenda—on an overnight train ride to Santiago. The director convinces the commentator to return to broadcasting in order to call Chile's matches and to utilize his unique vocal power to determine their outcomes. Later, when Chile is facing off against Brazil in the semifinal match, the plan diverges from one of conventional victory and the narrative bifurcates, simultaneously tracking the action on the field and a startling sequence of events that is unfolding in one of the stadium’s luxury boxes, and what initially looks like a story of intrigue and action and an exploration of class warfare, representation, and social justice, emerges as a novel that enacts the notion that art can only transcend through collective creative action.  Within the world of Carlos Labbé’s fiction, this novel can be understood as a continuation and broadening of the political project signaled in his early work and a doubling-down on the formal playfulness and elusive sensibility that characterizes all of his fiction. Popular forms and genres (from science fiction and journalism in Navidad & Matanza, to detective fiction in Loquela, to pop music and protest movements in Spiritual Choreographies) have always been integral to Labbé's oeuvre, and with The Murmuration he engages the world of professional soccer, making his most direct appeal to the masses yet.

"In this 'murder mystery memoir," a Dutch billionaire and Holocaust survivor named Joseph Hortha hires writer 'Ariel' to investigate Salvador Allende's mysterious death in the 1973 coup in Chile, in the hopes of discovering whether Allende committed suicide or was murdered. Dorfman takes us along a spectacular journey, from Washington, DC and New York City, to Santiago and Valparaâiso, and finally to London. Along the way, we witness a midnight gravedigging scene, are tracked by stealthy stalkers, and interview sources of varying credibility to discover what transpired at La Moneda. Through this gripping investigation, Joseph and Ariel attempt to redeem themselves, as they are both plagued by guilt. While Joseph grapples with how he has made his fortune unwittingly destroying his beloved planet, Ariel is haunted by the fact that his absence at the coup led to the disappearance of his friend. What begins as a puzzling quest unwinds into a fabulous saga about our duties to the world, one another, and ourselves"--
