Alberto Fuguet: "My mother took us to Chile; I say she kidnapped us."

Chilean writer Alberto Fuguet stated in an interview that his mother took him to Chile when he was young, describing the relocation as a kidnapping because no one knows or wants to know San Luis. The comments were made in the context of discussing his latest novel, Ushuaia, whose protagonist was born and raised in that Argentine province before moving to Santiago de Chile.

The narrative explores themes connected to this biographical background, highlighting the character's origins in San Luis and the abrupt transition to the Chilean capital.
