| Summary: | Fernando Alegría's trio of Chile's dictatorship novels (Una especie de memoria, El paso de los gansos, and Coral de guerra) are blistering amalgams of literary imaginative prose, memoir and political history, unprecedented in Latin American fiction. The tragic and untimely death of Salvador Allende during a Sept. 11th, 1973 military strike intended to end his presidency weighed heavily on Alegría, stimulating an inquiry into his dictatorship novels to understand their ontological, cultural, political and theoretical significance in relation to our basic human rights. |
