Rosa Chacel

Description

Luminous and elliptical, provocative and abstruse, the writings of Rosa Chacel demonstrate a style that is at once beautiful and complex. In this program, the late author discusses her memories of Valladolid and her childhood isolation; her productive exiles in Rome, Brazil, and Argentina; her persistent anger toward the Spanish people; plus three of her books: Estacion, ida y vuelta, a remarkable antecedent of the nouveau roman; Teresa; and the autobiographical Desde el amanecer. Actually, "all of my work is autobiographical," says Ms. Chacel.
