📕 Fiction
The Obscene Bird of Night
📖 Synopsis
A narrative nightmare about an old Chilean mansion full of monsters and deformities. Donoso and the darkest peak of the boom.
✍️ ChatZona's review
Donoso pushed the darkest side of the boom to its extreme: the old house as a space of monstrous transformations, identities dissolving, a narrator who cannot distinguish reality from phantasm. This is a novel that exhausts and destabilises by design. More than told, it is experienced. For readers with a high tolerance for ambiguity and prose that coils back on itself. Not an easy introduction to the author, but the most complete one.
