Taratuta ; And, Still Life with Pipe

Taratuta ; And, Still Life with Pipe Two Novellas

These striking novellas are the witty crystalizations of Jose Donoso's concerns over a lifetime of writing. In them he poses many of the questions raised by his fellow Latin American writers, Fuentes, Garcia Marquez, and Vargas Llosa. Taratuta is a mystery story in which a writer tries to track a slippery Russian revolutionary in history and in life. Still Life with Pipe shows the comeuppance of an ambitious man when he meets true art and can't escape its grasp.
