Summary:
"Written during the Pinochet dictatorship but not published until democracy's return, Ennio Moltedo's Night is a masterpiece of controlled rage, mourning, resistance, and astonishing humor, and the first of his books to appear in English translation. Ennio Moltedo (1931-2012), whom Raúl Zurita called "one of the finest, greatest, most curious and honorable poets of Chile," is at once lyrical and political, a dramatist, a chronicler, and a critic. Night is a Kafkaesque chronicle of the Pinochet era in prose poems that encompass the lyric, mini-drama, mini-epic, and micro-fiction, and which Esther Allen has called "surreal, agonized documents.""-- Provided by publisher.
