What is Purgatory : A Bilingual Edition about?
Raúl 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 Valparaíso when, on the morning of the coup, he was arrested, detained, and tortured. Conceived as the first text of a Dantean trilogy that includes __Anteparaíso (Anteparadise)__ and __La Vida Nueva (The New Life), Purgatory__ is his anguished response to Chile’s violent recent history.
