Full Circle: A South American Journey

Full Circle invites us to accompany Chilean writer Luis Sepulvéda on a "journey without a fixed itinerary". Whatever his subject - brutalities suffered under Pinochet's dictatorship, sleepy tropical towns visited in exile, or the landscapes of legendary Patagonia - Sepulvéda is an unflinchingly honest yet lyrical toryteller. extravagant characters and extraordinary situations are memorably evoked: gauchos organising a tournament of lies, a scheming heiress on the lookout for a husband, a pilot with a corpse on board his plane... Part autobiography, part travel memoir, Full Circle brings us the distinctive voice of one of South America's most compelling writers
