A lovely book with a nuanced, sharp-eyed, and very personal look not only at Jara but at a tumultuous Chile. I was surprised by Jara's commitment to performance and the theater. I'd known him primarily as a musician. While that was important to him, his art was actually much broader. He was not only fed by Chilean tradition and folk ways, but the innovation and diversity of international performance. Joan comes off as so smart and loving, and is also such a tragic figure. Even in the midst of her grief, she's done important work for Chile in keeping Jara's memory and work alive and relevant.
