Description
The Lizard's Tale: A Novel by José Donoso Written in 1973 and rediscovered among his papers after his death, this novel tells the story of Antonio Muñoz-Roa-Donoso, a painter struggling to come to terms with his past. Defeated and hiding in his Barcelona apartment, he recounts his flight with Luisa, his cousin and lover, as they flee the "Informalist" movement that once defined him. As Antonio looks back on his years in the small town of Dors, where he had attempted to preserve a way of life threatened by modernity, Donoso's clear prose shines through. A powerful meditation on the commercialization of art and the places we inhabit, this book is a compact and relevant exploration of the human experience. Translated into English for the first time, The Lizard's Tale offers a unique glimpse into the work of one of Latin America's most important writers, José Donoso.
