«El obsceno pájaro de la noche» is the 1970 novel by Chilean writer José Donoso, in a hardback edition (415 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative begins with the voice of Mudito and creates a decaying universe, with the old women of the Casa de la Encarnación de la Chimba and the monsters of the Rinconada. Donoso explores the loss of identity, madness, power and marginality through experimental prose where formal construction is as important as the story.
This edition belongs to the collection «Las 100 mejores novelas en castellano del siglo XX» and includes a prologue by Victorino Polo García.
A title of interest for readers of Latin American fiction and experimental novels that address identity, decay and madness.

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.
