On April 14, 1955, at the luxurious Crillon hotel in Santiago, Chile, the writer María Carolina Geel shot her lover several times and killed him instantly.

Produktbeschreibung
On April 14, 1955, at the luxurious Crillon hotel in Santiago, Chile, the writer María Carolina Geel shot her lover several times and killed him instantly. The reasons were never known (there were those who said it was out of jealousy; others, an extravagant way to gain notoriety). The crime was notorious at the time and earned Geel three years in prison. From his stay in prison (and as has happened so many times in the history of literature, from Cervantes to Sade, Wilde or Genet), Geel obtained a perfect opportunity to write, a gesture already transgressive, since it combined the writing of crime and the crime of writing. Beyond guilt or atonement, Geel describes and reflects on the female prison universe, an impassable and dark world, in a work ahead of its time that mixes fiction, testimony and autobiography, and which was most groundbreaking. when talking about crimes, life in prison and desire between women. For this reason, this book occupies, in its own right, a unique place in Chilean literature.

Autorenporträt
Georgina Silva Jiménez, conocida como María Carolina Geel (Santiago de Chile,1913-1996) fue una escritora chilena. Fue catalogada como una mujer controvertida tanto por su literatura, como por protagonizar uno de los crímenes más conocidos de la época, consumado en el Hotel Crillón. Una de las características de sus obras es la importancia que le da a la interioridad femenina como una construcción de género. Al mismo tiempo su literatura demostraba la lucha que esta representaba por la liberación de la mujer tanto social como intelectual. Luego de su primera obra publicada, escribió cuatro más: Extraño estío (1947), relato que lleva a la ficción la vida de una mujer divorciada. Soñaba y amaba al adolescente Perces (1949); El pequeño arquitecto (1956) y Huida (1961).
