El jardín de al lado

Portada
Alfaguara, 1996 - 274 páginas
Una novela sobre el fracaso, pero tambien, de algun modo, sobre la salvacion. Desgarrada y tragicomica, cotidiana y patetica, explora los laberintos de la marginalidad interior, mas alla de los destierrosobligados o voluntarios, de las miserias fisicas o de las ambiguedades del deseo.

Acerca del autor (1996)

Donoso obsessive subject is the decay of the Chilean bourgeoisie, but he vigorously rejects anything reminiscent of traditional realism or the portrayal of regional customs. In This Sunday (1966), he focuses on a family's activities on Sundays in order to view the boredom, passions, and misery of Chilean bourgeois society and its servants. The Obscene Bird of Night (1970) deals with the decline of feudal society through the story of a landholding family in a kaleidoscopic vision of decay and outrageous behavior.
