In 'Conjectures on the Memory of My Tribe,' José Donoso reconstructs the history of his family from old photographs, childhood rumors, and his own obsessions. The author introduces us to landowners, politicians, intellectuals, and religious figures who have marked the history of his family since the first Donoso arrived in Chile four hundred years ago. Through imagination and conjectures, Donoso illuminates the blind spots of historical truth, creating a masterpiece of narrative.
José Manuel Donoso Yáñez, was a Chilean writer, journalist and professor. He lived most of his life in Chile, although he spent many years in self-imposed exile in Mexico, the United States and Spain. Although he stated that he had left Chile in the 1960s for personal reasons, after 1973 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 in 1996.
