José Donoso, born in Santiago, Chile in 1924, is one of the most influential writers of Chilean and Latin American literature of the 20th century. His academic background includes studies at the University of Chile and Princeton, USA. Between 1967 and 1981, he lived in Spain, a crucial period during which he wrote some of his most important novels and established himself as a central figure of the Latin American Boom.

His most notable works include “Coronación” (1957), “El obsceno pájaro de la noche” (1970), and “Casa de campo” (1978). Donoso was awarded numerous prizes, including the National Literature Prize in Chile, the Critics' Prize in Spain, the Mondello Prize in Italy, and the Roger Caillois Prize in France. In 1995, he received the Grand Cross of Civil Merit from the Council of Ministers of Spain.
After returning to Chile in 1981, he led a literary workshop that played a key role in the emergence of the “new Chilean narrative”. José Donoso died in Santiago, Chile in December 1996.
