Résumé
"In Handwriting, Eltit offers her reading of the Argentine trial of Enrique Arancibia Clavel for his participation in the assassination of General Prats and his wife, Sofía Cuthbert. The work's main concept is the literal transcription of documents generated by… third parties, but also considers three brief texts, written in her own handwriting, that explain the book's motives and allow two reflections. The first, linked to her narrative staging of the book, to the use of third-party documents, and their function in the literary act; the second focuses on the documents' content that reveals the motives of one of so many political crimes executed during the Pinochet dictatorship." -- Translation provided by NLS
