Pinochet, Thatcher's best Latin American buddy, was a tyrant. He may also have been so insecure as to murder a dying man so that man couldn't maybe recover and speak out against Pinochet.
Pablo Neruda was a great poet. Try selections from Residence on Earth to see why. They translate well.
The body of Nobel Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda is being exhumed from his tomb in Chile on Monday morning in an attempt to discover whether he was poisoned by the regime of General Augusto Pinochet.
Damn that Pinnochio! When will this murderous puppet ever be brought to Justice?
As someone who has been touched deeply by Neruda's work, in particular being creatively influenced by his love poems, I'm not happy about this. Neruda himself never claimed he was poisoned, and his estate denies it as well, even though there is no fear now from Pinochet's regime. This is just an insult to his remains.
