«Taratuta; Naturaleza muerta con cachimba» is the Mondadori edition (paperback, 159 pages, in Spanish) that brings together two short novels by José Donoso.
In «Taratuta», a fragile man gets caught up in an intrigue that travels from Madrid to Buenos Aires, with Russians who fled the October Revolution and the figure of Lenin as a backdrop. «Naturaleza muerta con cachimba», by contrast, portrays small characters anchored in their dreams and illusions at a decadent seaside resort.
The work was published in Madrid in 1990 within the Rectángulo collection from Mondadori.
For readers of Latin American fiction and followers of José Donoso, with two short novels of dense atmosphere and historical background.
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.
