“Young Donoso, at the age of 26, reveals two of his most deeply rooted passions that will shape him as a writer and essayist: his interest in and appreciation for women's writing—Ivy Compton-Burnett, Isak Dinesen, and Virginia Woolf are recurring themes in his articles—as well as a true obsession with deciphering the mysteries of creation. In Jane Austen y la elegancia del pensamiento (Jane Austen and the Elegance of Thought), the essay submitted to Princeton University as his thesis, both enthusiasms converge to delve into the female characters who take center stage in these novels, like a child who disassembles a toy because he wants to know how it operates, what mechanisms make a seemingly simple yet timeless writing work.” From the prologue by Cecilia García Huidobro
“After reading Donoso, it is almost impossible not to immerse oneself again in Austen's novels.” El Periódico
