Description

Raúl Zurita's Purgatory is a powerful and personal response to the violent history of Chile under military dictatorship. Conceived as part of a Dantean trilogy, this poem is an anguished cry from one who was just 24 years old when arrested and tortured in 1973. Translated by Anna Deeny, this bilingual edition brings Zurita's unique voice to English-language readers for the first time. The result is a landmark work of contemporary Latin American poetry that records the physical, cultural, and spiritual violence perpetrated against the Chilean people during this period. With its beautiful language and unflinching examination of trauma and resistance, Purgatory offers a profound and thought-provoking reading experience.
