More Description

Pinochet Boy is a generational novel written in Spanish, about children molded by dictatorship, who could never enjoy the nickel-plated Chile of the new century. The protagonist of this book unfolds into three characters that represent the milestones of his life: Mirko, the suspicious boy, educated in a private school that was previously public and after leaving -in debt- from university, deals with decaying jobs; Pedro, the writer, who conceives literature as a sharp weapon to break through and escape from reality; and Leonidas, a stripped-down version of both, who waits with psychotic patience to regain his failed relationship with Sol.
