About The Obscene Bird of Night

Donoso's 1970 baroque nightmare — Humberto Peñaloza, deaf-mute caretaker and unreliable narrator; an aristocratic estate, an orphanage of monstrous children, a convent in ruins; shifting identities and hallucinated reality in the darkest and most formally extreme of the Latin American Boom novels.
