Overview
La novela cumbre de José Donoso.
La voz que narra El obsceno pájaro de la noche fluye infatigable de los labios del Mudito, como en un viaje desde el ser hacia la nada, elaborando un mundo destinado -por la maldición intrínseca de la existencia- al deterioro, la pérdida o la confusión de cualquier identidad posible.
Las viejas que pueblan la Casa de la Encarnación de la Chimba y los monstruos de la Rinconada ilustran cada matiz de la desesperación y cada uno de los ínfimos placeres cotidianos, anudando siempre al ciego instinto de la vida un inextinguible terror ante lo oscuro, lo innombrable, lo que ya no tiene forma.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A journey through the labyrinths of identity, deterioration, decay, and nonexistence. This is the pinnacle of Jose Donoso’s novels.
The voice that narrates The Obscene Bird of Night flows tirelessly from the lips of the Mute, as in a journey from being to nothingness, creating a world destined —by the inherent curse of existence— to deterioration, loss, or a perplexity of any possible identity.
The old women that live in the House of the Incarnation of La Chimba and the monsters of La Rinconada illustrate every nuance of despair as well as every one of the smallest daily pleasures; adding to the blind instinct of life an everlasting fear in the face of darkness, of the unnamable, and of that which no longer has a shape.
