☆ Opinion | I Watched a Democracy Die. I Don’t Want to Do It Again.

For 50 years, I have been mourning the death of President Salvador Allende of Chile, who was overthrown in a coup the morning of Sept. 11, 1973. Dread of what could happen to me, to my family and friends, dread at what was about to happen to my country. Not only did General Pinochet end our dreams; he ushered in an era of brutal human rights violations. During his military rule, from 1973 to 1990, more than 40,000 people were subjected to physical and psychological torture. More than a thousand men and women are still among the desaparecidos, the disappeared, with no funerals and no graves.

☆ In Chile, a Quest for Truth Driven by Survivor’s Guilt

THE SUICIDE MUSEUM, by Ariel DorfmanOn Sept. 11, 1973, President Salvador Allende of Chile died inside the national palace in Santiago during a U.S.-backed military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. Afterward, the Chilean army announced that suicide was the official cause of death, which many Chileans distrusted, if not flatly rejected. This is the mystery that powers “The Suicide Museum,” a new novel by the Chilean American author, playwright and activist Ariel Dorfman. Whether his life was tragic or epic.”For Ariel, even considering the possibility that Allende died by suicide isn’t easy. He is attached to an epic narrative in which Allende died fighting; any alternative theory “desecrated a sanctuary that was out-of-bounds.”
