CANOVAS, Rodrigo. PILAR DONOSO'S (AUTO)BIOGRAPHY: UNDERLINED LETTERS. Acta lit. [online]. 2014, n.49, pp.37-58. ISSN 0717-6848.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-68482014000200003.

This work is a presentation of the book Correr el tupido velo (2009), a biography of the Chilean writer José Donoso, written by his daughter Pilar Donoso, based mostly in his non published diaries. Our reading emphasizes the autobiographic nature of this text: how the daugther generates her identity through the selection and commentaries of these diaries. She outlines herself as a redaer, who exposes her truth by enunciating a recriminatory image of the paternal figure. Thus, her book is understood as a citation of another life; this action inaugurates her own life.

Palabras clave : Autobiography; José Donoso; Chilean literature; reading/writing.
