Successful San Francisco attorney Will Muñoz has heard of the brutal former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, of course, but it's not until he receives his mother's suicide letter that he has any inkling Pinochet may have had his father, Chilean writer Ricardo Muñoz, assassinated thirty years earlier.Her suspicions spur Will on to a quest to discover the truth about his father's death–and about the psychological forces that have driven his mother to her fatal decision. His journey takes him deep into unexpected darkness linking his current step-father, the CIA, drug-experimentation programs, and a conspiracy of domestic terrorism. The Pinochet Plot is not just a story of a man seeking inner peace; it is also a story of sinister history doomed to repeat itself.
Pedro Lemebel wurde irgendwann in den fünfziger Jahren in Chile geboren und zählt in seinem Land, nicht nur wegen seiner offen gelebten Homosexualität, zu den schillerndsten Figuren der Kulturszene. 1987, noch zu Zeiten der Pinochet-Diktatur, gründete er die Performancegruppe "Stuten der Apokalypse". Er ist Mitautor des in Chile sehr erfolgreichen Satiremagazins The Clinic (der Titel spielt auf die Londoner Klinik an, in der sich Pinochet aufhielt, als ihm die Auslieferung nach Spanien drohte). Träume aus Plüsch ist nach drei Chronikbänden sein erster Roman.

In February 2000, Augusto Pinochet served 17 months in detention in London. The Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón seems to have achieved the impossible, bringing the former dictator to justice and initiating a trial against him for crimes of genocide, terrorism and repeated violations of human rights. Locked up in the English capital, Pinochet’s memories and fears become specters that will soon lead him back to Chile, to his death and beyond.

The first section of the book includes information about how tourism-related infrastructure and activities promote biological invasions, including key pathways for non-native invasive species introductions. This section provides case studies of different organisms that are known to be introduced and/or promoted by tourism in different ecosystems or regions.

The last section focuses on management and policy, covering aspects of how visitors perceive invasive species and their willingness to manage them, biosecurity measures to prevent invasion related to tourism, as well as potential policy options moving forward. The book draws on a number of examples across multiple taxa, landscapes and regions of the world.

La trilogía sobre la retórica del poder, que Enrique Lihn nos ha legado, fue creada bajo el signo del bufón y la podemos entender como literatura plural y abigarrada. Antonio Cornejo Polar señala en torno a estos dos conceptos: "corresponde a una especie de supradiscurso multiétnico que acumula, sin sintetizarlas, sus hondas y extensas contradicciones". En ese tenor, Enrique Lihn señala en uno de sus versos, dedicados al ocio increíble del que somos capaces: “el estilo que por lo cierto no es el hombre / sino la suma de sus incertidumbres”. En busca de la contradicción inherente, el autor chileno crea realidades ficcionales, que se apartan de lo documental y privilegia generar efectos de enmascaramiento y una comunicación que se da en términos de una combinación de estados neuróticos y paranoides. Habla que remite a un marco de censura y vigilancia, al punto de extremar el locus horridus propiciado por un poder corrupto e irrefrenable. Se trata del reino en que prevalece la palabra vacía e impotente que surge de la censura. Daniel Rojas Pachas nos entrega en este ensayo, una visión profunda y crítica de la narrativa, de uno de los escritores chilenos más importantes del siglo XX.
