Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jose Donoso was the leading Chilean representative of the Latin American Boom of the sixties and seventies that included Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Manuel Puig, among others. Written as a draft in 1973, set aside, and forgotten, The Lizards Tale was discovered among Donosos papers at Princeton University by his daughter after his death. Edited for publication by critic and poet Julio Ortega, it was published posthumously in Spanish under the title Lagartija sin cola in 2007. Suzanne Jill Levine, who knew Donoso and translated two of his earlier works, brings the book to an English-language audience for the first time. Defeated and hiding in his Barcelona apartment, painter Antonio Munoz-Roaclearly Donosos alter egorelates the story of his flight with Luisa, his cousin, lover, and benefactor, after his scandalous desertion from the Informalist movement (a witty reference to a contemporary Spanish art movement and possibly an allusion to the Boom as well), in which he had been a member of a certain standing. Frustrated, old, and alone, the artist looks back on his years in the small town of Dors, a place he unsuccessfully tried to rescue from the crushing advance of modernity, and on the decline of his own family, also threatened by the changing times. In Levines able hands, Donosos clear prose shines through, forming a compact, powerful, and still-relevant meditation on the commercialization of art and the very places we inhabit. "Originally published in Spanish under the title Lagartija sin cola in 2007." Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
