This book brings together for the first time the previously unpublished correspondence between two of the greatest Latin American novelists, Chilean José Donoso and Mexican Carlos Fuentes. A conversation between two close friends that spanned decades, covering one of the most vibrant periods in the history and literature of our continent. A paused dialogue, typical of the epistolary genre, that reveals two brilliant minds and two lives dedicated to writing. Here, they share their readings, opinions, and ideas, as well as sharp and sincere critiques of their manuscripts, personal intimacies, and reflections on the cultural and political events around them. The selection and editing were done by Cecilia García Huidobro and Augusto Wong.
