The Daily Collegian
Novelist opens series
By Jennifer Wh: teley
StaffWriter
She was bom in South America to
diplomat parents, raised as a teenager
in Bolivia, the Middle East and
Europe, then returned to Chile from a
war-tom Lebanon.
From secretary to journalist,
television show host to playwright,
Isabel Allende had to flee her home
yet again after her uncle. President
Salvador Allende. was assassinated
during a military coup in 1973.
Unable to find a Job as a Journalist
In her newly adopted home of
Venezuela, she was not defeated.
Instead, she turned her hand to
writing fiction and wrote a best-
selling novel called. The House of
Spirits." She has since written two
more novels that have had equal
success.
Allende is scheduled to speak
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Satellite
Student Union. She will be the first of
six speakers sponsored by the CSUF
University Lecture Series this fall.
She will lecture on "Political
Turmoil and Everyday Stories." In a
1985 Newsweek Interview, Allende
said, "Storytelling is a way of
preserving the memory of the past
and keeping alive legends, myths,
superstitions and history that are not
in textbooks - the real stories of the
people and countries."
Allende is one of the first female
novelists to break into the male club
of Uitin American novelists. Her
work parallels that of male authors
who depict the sociological
conditions of their country.
The New York Times compared
"Spirits" to the Nobel prize-winning
Gabriel Garcia Marquez novel, "One
Hundred Years of Solitude." AHende's
novel has also been translated Into
over 22 different languages.
In an Interview with People
magazine, also in 1985, Allende said
she began her first book as a letter to
her grandfather, who was nearjy 100
years old.
"My grandfather thought people
died only when you forgot them." she
said.
Allende took this to heart and
immortalized her grandfather as the
central character of her book. Much
of her life was spent with her
grandparents. She described her
grandfather as tyrannical and her
grandmother as a spiritualist who
held seances in her home.
These childhood experiences are
reflected in her novel, which was
described by People magazine as
"powerful, sometimes picaresque,
sometimes mystical."
Her two recent novels, "Of Love and
Shadows" and "Eva Luna," are
receiving critical acclaim as well. ■
Allende said she gets seven
invitations a week to lecture.
Tickets are available at the
University Student Union
Information Desk or at the Satellite
Student Union the evening of the
lecture. Tickets are $2 for students,
faculty and staff and $3 for the
general public.
