About the Book

This anthology offers five of the best known plays by Chilean author Marco Antonio de la Parra in translation: "The Raw, The Cooked, and The Rotten" (1978), "Secret Obscenities" (1984), "Every Young Woman's Desire" (1986), "King Kong Palace" (1990), and "Dostoevski Goes to the Beach" (1990). Accompanying the translations are six essays by scholars in the field of Latin American theatre who offer keen insights into the complex world of the playwright/novelist/psychiatrist de la Parra. The translations and essays explore the author's theatre written during the darkest days of the Pinochet regime as well as those of his self-proclaimed -post-Pinochet- era."
About the Author: The Author: Marco Antonio de la Parra, Chilean playwright, novelist, and psychiatrist, began to establish his reputation as a writer in 1978 when his play, "Lo crudo, lo cocido, lo podrido" (The Raw, the Cooked, and the Rotten) was banned by the Catholic University one day before its official premiere. In 1984 he wrote "La secreta obscenidad de cada dia" (Secret Obscenities) which has become one of the most widely performed works of Latin American theatre in recent years. His publications include three collections of theatre: "TEATRO: Lo crudo, lo cocido, lo podrido / Matatangos" (1982); "TEATRO: La secreta obscenidad de cada dia/Infieles" (1988); "King Kong Palace/Dostoievski va a la playa" (1990); and "El Padre Muerto" (1992). He has published a volume of short stories, "Suenos eroticos/Amores Imposibles" (1986); and two novels, "El deseo de toda ciudadana" (1987), and "La secreta guerra santa de Santiago de Chile" (1989). Marco Antonio de la Parra recently spent three years in Spain as the Cultural Attache to the Chilean Embassy in Madrid.
