José Donoso Yáñez (October 5, 1924 – December 7, 1996) was a Chilean writer. He lived most of his life in Chile, although he spent many years in self-imposed exile in Mexico, the United States (Iowa) and mainly Spain. Although he had left his country in the sixties for personal reasons, after 1973 he said his exile was also a form of protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. He returned to Chile in 1981 and lived there until his death. Donoso is the author of a number of remarkable stories and novels, which contributed greatly to the Latin American literary boom. The term 'Boom' was coined in his 1972 essay ''Historia personal del "boom"''.〔Varona-Lacey, Gladys M. "Contemporary Latin American Literature"〕 His best known works include the novels ''Coronación'', ''El lugar sin límites'' (''The Place Without Limits'') and ''El obsceno pájaro de la noche'' (''The Obscene Bird of Night''). His works deal with a number of themes, including sexuality, the duplicity of identity, psychology, and a sense of dark humor. After his death, his personal papers at the University of Iowa revealed his homosexuality, a revelation that caused a certain controversy in Chile.〔(Los papeles de José Donoso )〕 == Works == * ''Veraneo y otros cuentos'', 1955, contains 7 stories: * *''Veraneo'', ''Tocayos'', ''El Güero'', ''Una señora'', ''Fiesta en grande'', ''Dos cartas'' y ''Dinamarquero'' * ''Coronación'' (novel, 1957) * ''El charleston'', 1960, contains 5 stories: * *''El charleston'', ''La puerta cerrada'', ''Ana María'', ''Paseo'' y ''El hombrecito'' * ''El lugar sin límites'' (novel, 1966) * ''Este domingo'' (novel 1966) * ''Los mejores cuentos de José Donoso'', selection by Luis Domínguez, Zig-Zag, 1966; contains: * *''Veraneo'', ''Tocayos'', ''El Güero'', ''Una señora'', ''Fiesta en grande'', ''Dos cartas'', ''Dinamarquero'', ''El charleston'', ''La puerta cerrada'', ''Ana María'', ''Paseo'', ''El hombrecito'', ''China'' and ''Santelices'' * ''El obsceno pájaro de la noche'' (novel, 1970) * ''Cuentos'', Seix Barral, Barcelona 1971 * ''Historia personal del boom'' (memories, 1972) * ''Tres novelitas burguesas'', 1973, contains: * *''Chatanooga choochoo'', ''Átomo verde número cinco'' y ''Gaspard de la nuit'' * ''Casa de campo'' (novel, 1978) * ''La misteriosa desaparición de la marquesita de Loria'' (novel, 1981) * ''El jardín de al lado'' (novel, 1981) * ''Poemas de un novelista'' (poetry, 1981) * ''Cuatro para Delfina'', 1982, contains four brief novels: * *''Sueños de mala muerte'', ''Los habitantes de una ruina inconclusa'', ''El tiempo perdido'' and ''Jolie Madame'' *''Veraneo y sus mejores cuentos'',Santiago, Zig-Zag, 1985, contains ten stories: * *''Veraneo'', ''Tocayos'', ''El Güero'', ''Una señora'', ''Fiesta en grande'', ''Dos cartas'', ''Dinamarquero'', ''Paseo'', ''El hombrecito'' and ''Santelices'' * ''La desesperanza'' (novel, 1986) * ''Artículos de incierta necesidad'', 1998, selection of his articles published for magazines compiled by Cecilia García-Huidobro * ''Taratuta'' y ''Naturaleza muerta con cachimba'' (short novels, 1990) * ''Donde van a morir los elefantes'' (novel, 1995) * ''Nueve novelas breves'', Alfaguara 1996, contains the books ''Tres novelitas burguesas'', ''Cuatro para Delfina'' más ''Taratuta'' and ''Naturaleza muerta con cachimba'' * ''Conjeturas sobre la memoria de mi tribu'' (fictional memories, 1996) * ''El mocho'' (novel, posthumous edition, 1997) * ''Cuentos''( anthology, Alfaguara, 1997) * ''Lagartija sin cola'' (novel, posthumous edition, 2007) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「José Donoso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
