«Este domingo» is the novel by Chilean writer José Donoso, published by Editorial Bruguera in paperback (189 pages, in Spanish).
The novel evokes the long Sundays of childhood in a complex and unsettling family, told by a narrator who is also a character and resists oblivion. From the half-light emerge the first erotic shocks, an eccentric mother and a cruel story; with these materials Donoso draws that «other reality» that memory keeps as a work of art.
This 1981 edition belongs to the Bruguera Libro Amigo collection (number 1502/859); the novel was originally published in 1966.
For readers of Latin American fiction who appreciate narratives about memory, childhood and family life.
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.
