Miguel Bonnefoy loves extreme landscapes – jungle, mangroves, dizzying peaks – destinies that border on myth, excessive loves. A storyteller with skillful lyricism, he weaves these elements into seductive fictions, nourished by Latin American influences and family legend. In Legacy (Rivages, 2020) a grandfather from the Jura developed vine cultivation in Chile; his son, an activist against the Pinochet dictatorship, met a Venezuelan woman in : Miguel Bonnefoy was born from this union. The Jaguar’s Dream this time follows the maternal trail, always in the same alloy of exceptional individual destinies and historical-political chronicle.

A thousand love stories
