Career
Allende worked on the editorial staff of Paula magazine and Mampato's children's magazine, 1967 to 1974, where she later became the editor. "La Abuela Panchita" and "Lauchones" are two children's stories, as well as a collection of essays, Civilice a Su Troglodita were published. She appeared on television programs 7 and 13 from 1970 to 1974. She once wished for an interview with poet Pablo Neruda as a journalist. Neruda accepted the interview but told her that she had too much imagination to be a journalist and should rather be a novelist instead. He also advised her to compile her satirical columns in book form. W4 She did so, and it was her first published book. El Embajador, a 1973 play by Allende, appeared in Santiago a few months before she was forced to leave the country due to the coup.
Allende, a freelance journalist for El Nacional in Caracas from 1976 to 1983, and an administrator of the Marrocco School in Caracas from 1979 to 1983, was a writer from 1975 to 1983.
Allende's grandmother died on January 19, 1981, while in Caracas, and she waited to write him a letter, in the hopes of "keep him alive, at least in spirit." The letter developed into a book, The House of the Spirits (1982), and it was designed to exorcise the pinochet seniles of the Pinochet dynasty. Several Latin American publishers had rejected the book, but it was eventually published in Buenos Aires. The book soon became available in Spanish in more than two dozen editions and was later translated into a number of languages. Allende was compared to Gabriel Garca Márquez as an author in the style known as magical realism.
Though Allende is often referred to as a master of magical realism, her books also have elements of post-Boom literature. Allende also adheres to a strict writing regimen. Allende wrote on a computer from Monday, 09:00 to 19:00 "I always start on January," Allende said; "a tradition she started in 1981 with a letter she wrote to her dying grandfather that would become The House of the Spirits."
Paula (1995) is a memoir about her birth in Santiago and the years she spent in exile. It is published as an emailed letter from her daughter. In 1991, an error in Paula's medication resulted in significant brain damage, leaving her in a nebulous state. Allende spent months at Paula's bedside before learning that a hospital mishap had caused the brain injury. Allende had Paula, who died on December 6, 1992, at a California hospital.
Allende's books have been translated into more than 40 languages and have sold more than 74 million copies. The Sum of Our Days, author Sharon Carter's 2008 book, is a memoir. It focuses on her relationship with her mother, Nicolás, her adult son, William Gordon; and several grandchildren. In 2010, a novel set in New Orleans, Island Beneath the Sea, was published. El cuaderno de Maya (Maya's Notebook), a series of Berkeley, California, and Chiloé, Chile, as well as Las Vegas, Nevada, were present in 2011.
