Curfew, Socialism, Pinochet, Donoso, social responsibilityAbstract
The Cuban revolution and the military coups in Latin America, among other
things, forced Latin American artists committed to addressing the social problems in their
countries to consider transforming their social commitment into socialist commitment. This
essay shows how Jose Donoso's novel, Curfew, rejects this call and marks a new stage in
the relationship between socialism and American literature by being socially committed to
the actual political situation in Chile without being a socialist text.
