Synopsis "El Mocho (in Spanish)"

La última ficción de José Donoso, el más célebre narrador chileno de este siglo: la identidad y el origen son, en último término, nociones relativas o indiscernibles. Tras la muerte de su padre bajo un derrumbe en una mina de carbón, Toño junta restos de ropa y otros objetos del minero desaparecido, y sube al cementerio para enterrarlos allí a falta de un cuerpo que sepultar. Las páginas alucinadas de El Mocho, novela que José Donoso (1924-1996) no alcanzó a ver publicada, reformulan -con la proverbial fuerza metafórica de su escritura- antiguas obsesiones que hasta el último día animaron la imaginación del autor de El obsceno pájaro de la noche. Perseguida por los murciélagos en la playa, Elba (la madre de Toño) se debate entre la culpa y el deseos mientras Arístides -el Mocho- lo observa todo desde el Pabellón, elaborando oscuras genealogías que encarnan la infiltración mutua, siempre perversa, entre aristocracia y marginalidad, poder y degradación. A la asfixiante existencia de los mineros se contraponen, como escenario del delirio cotidiano, el circo y el prostíbulo, todo frente al trasfondo asordinado de la represión durante la dictadura militar: los desaparecidos (como el cuerpo ausente del padre de Toño) señalan la ambigüedad esencial que cruza a los protagonistas de El Mocho.

José Donoso, born in Santiago, Chile in 1924, is one of the most influential writers of Chilean and Latin American literature of the 20th century. His academic background includes studies at the University of Chile and Princeton, USA. Between 1967 and 1981, he lived in Spain, a crucial period during which he wrote some of his most important novels and established himself as a central figure of the Latin American Boom.

His most notable works include “Coronación” (1957), “El obsceno pájaro de la noche” (1970), and “Casa de campo” (1978). Donoso was awarded numerous prizes, including the National Literature Prize in Chile, the Critics' Prize in Spain, the Mondello Prize in Italy, and the Roger Caillois Prize in France. In 1995, he received the Grand Cross of Civil Merit from the Council of Ministers of Spain.
After returning to Chile in 1981, he led a literary workshop that played a key role in the emergence of the “new Chilean narrative”. José Donoso died in Santiago, Chile in December 1996.
