«El anfitrión» is the novel by Jorge Edwards, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
Faustino Piedrabuena, a Chilean exile in East Berlin after the 1973 coup, suffers the monotony of exile and the rigidity of his comrades. An encounter with a mysterious compatriot from the western sector launches him into a human and political adventure that reads like a Chilean Faust in a humorous key, an ironic fable about the traps of utopia.
Published in December 2001, «El anfitrión» belongs to the Andanzas collection of Tusquets Editores.
For readers of contemporary and psychological fiction in Spanish, interested in the history of Chile and the contradictions of exile.
Jorge Edwards Valdés was a Chilean novelist, journalist and diplomat. He was the Chilean ambassador to France during the first Sebastián Piñera presidency.
