Raul Zurita's "Purgatory", a landmark in contemporary Latin
American poetry, records the physical, cultural, and spiritual
violence perpetrated against the Chilean people under Pinochet's
military dictatorship (1973-1990) in the fiercely inventive voice
of a postmodern master. This beautiful en face edition, superbly
translated by Anna Deeny, brings to English-language readers an
indispensable volume written by one of the most important living
poets writing in Spanish today. Zurita was a 24-year-old student in
Valparaiso when, on the morning of the coup, he was arrested,
detained, and tortured. Conceived as the first text of a "Dantean"
trilogy that includes "Anteparaiso" ("Anteparadise") and "La Vida
Nueva" ("The New Life"), "Purgatory" is his anguished response to
Chile's violent recent history.
