Description

Clorinda, an eccentric anti-heroine emerges from the dust of Chile's Atacama desert to literally weave herself into a relationship with an older man whose tales take us through decades of corruption and cosmic trickery.In the northern Chilean pueblo of Tocopilla, dressed in eccentric attire from her calendar wardrobe, Clorinda fantasizes about Sr Orlando del Transito Ortega de Riveras before he finally befriends her.She is a solitary, idiosyncratic 28-year-old and he is her Latino Clark Gable.With a preternatural talent for fabric, Clorinda recycles second-hand garments from foreign, left-over lives and weaves them into her "life's work", a tapestry which is inspired by Sr Ortega's worldly experiences.At the age of 15, Sr Ortega, who was born a poor miner's son at the end of a long line of faded Spanish aristocracy, defies destiny. His single audacious impulse provokes a series of unlikely events, leading him to Chile's capital and beyond. His story unravels and he returns to become part of Clorinda's fabric-filled world.Told through the voices of its different characters, South of Centre weaves through seemingly unrelated events, but we find their lives are connected and then separated by twists of a single thread.* Quirky humour in tragic circumstances, with an added touch of magic realism* Underlying questions around a tight, eventful plot across several decades
