«El lugar sin límites» is the novel by Chilean writer José Donoso, published by Bruguera in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in the brothel of Japonesita and revolves around la Manuela, an ambiguous character who blurs the boundaries between the sexes. It exposes the falseness of appearances, the sordidness, violence and misery of a town dominated by passions and power games, and turns marginality into a metaphor for the human condition.
The novel was adapted into a movie by Arturo Ripstein and this edition belongs to the Libro Amigo collection, number 521.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Latin American narrative and in stories that explore identity and sexuality.
José Manuel Donoso Yáñez, 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 stated that he had left Chile in the 1960s for personal reasons, after 1973 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 in 1996.
