The José Donoso Digital Archive opens up new opportunities to study the author's work and life, revealing previously unpublished details about his creative process and his interaction with the social and literary environment of his time. The archive is a living space, open to new logics of approaching a writer: new authorial skins, as Javier Guerrero, Professor in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at Princeton University, calls them. José Donoso's archives not only preserve his legacy, but also enrich the perspectives for approaching his work, his biography, and his era. They have made possible the appearance of previously unknown texts and encouraged significant rereading's of his writing and personality, a task that, considering the dimensions of his archive, is just beginning.
