SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Through the disruptive and fiercely inventive voice of a postmodern master, Raúl Zurita's Purgatory, a landmark in contemporary Latin American poetry, records the physical, cultural, and spiritual violence perpetrated against the Chilean people under Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship (1973-90). --from publisher's description
