Title : The Passerby at the End of the World - Francisco Coloane - book

Summary :

At almost ninety years old, the old wolf of the Great South pulls one last trick out of his bag: the story of his life, no less. But don't expect to read an autobiography in the classic sense of the word. Coloane, from his childhood on the island of Chiloé, whipped by the offshore winds, to the years of fame in the wake of his brother Pablo Neruda, navigates by sight and composes his book by inspiration: a book as undisciplined as his mop of hair. In short, a story à la Coloane, one more, and with great allure. The writer explains: he has always wanted his books to carve their adventurous path as close as possible to life. "I have taken care, in these last pages, to ensure that the writing cheats as little as possible. At least my readers will not be disoriented. This time I am selling them the same alcohol, drawn from the same still, an alcohol as unadulterated as possible - simply, this latest batch will have marinated a little longer than the others in the barrel."
