Allende has been called "the world's most widely read Spanish-language author."[8] In , Allende was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters,[9] and in , she received Chile's National Literature Prize.[10] President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.[2]

Early life

Allende was born in Lima, Peru, in , the daughter of Francisca Llona Barros called "Doña Panchita" (the daughter of Agustín Llona Cuevas and Isabel Barros Moreira, of Portuguese descent) and Tomás Allende, who was at the time a second secretary at the Chilean embassy.

Her father Tomás was a first cousin of Salvador Allende, President of Chile from to [11][12][13]

In , after Tomás left them,[11] Isabel's mother relocated with her three children to Santiago, Chile, where they lived until [14][3] In Allende's mother married Ramón Huidobro and the family moved often.

Huidobro was a diplomat appointed to Bolivia and Beirut. In La Paz, Bolivia, Allende attended an American private school; and in Beirut, Lebanon, she attended an English private school. The family returned to Chile in , where Allende was also briefly home-schooled. In her youth, she read widely, particularly the works of William Shakespeare.[15]

In , Salvador Allende appointed Huidobro as ambassador to Argentina.[3]

Career

Before writing books, Allende with the United NationsFood and Agriculture Organization in Santiago, then in Brussels, and elsewhere in Europe from to For a short time in Chile, she also had a job translating romance novels from English to Spanish.[16] However, she was fired for making unauthorized changes to the dialogue of the heroines to make them sound more intelligent, as well as altering the Cinderella ending to allow the heroines to find more independence and do good in the world.[17]

Exile in Venezuela

In , Salvador Allende was overthrown in a coup led by General Augusto Pinochet.[18] Isabel found herself arranging safe passage for people on the "wanted lists", which she continued to do until her mother and stepfather narrowly escaped assassination.

When she herself was added to the list and began receiving death threats, she fled to Venezuela, where she stayed for 13 years.[11][19] It was during this time that Allende wrote her debut novel The House of the Spirits (). Allende has stated that her move from Chile made her a serious writer: "I don't think I would be a writer if I had stayed in Chile.

I would be trapped in the chores, in the family, in the person that people expected me to be." Allende believed that, being female in a patriarchal family, she was not expected to be a "liberated" person.[18] Her history of oppression and liberation is thematically found in much of her fiction, where women contest the ideals of patriarchal leaders.[20] In Venezuela she was a columnist for El Nacional, a major national newspaper.[21]

Journalism

Beginning in , Allende was on the editorial staff of Paula magazine and the children's magazine Mampato from to , where she later became the editor.[22] She published two children's stories, "La Abuela Panchita" and "Lauchas y Lauchones", as well as a collection of articles, Civilice a Su Troglodita.

She also worked in Chilean television production for channels 7 and 13 from to [22] As a journalist, she once sought an interview with poet Pablo Neruda. Neruda agreed to the interview, and he told her that she had too much imagination to be a journalist and should be a novelist instead.[16] He also advised her to compile her satirical columns in book form.[17]:&#;W4&#; She did so, and this became her first published book.

In , Allende's play El Embajador played in Santiago a few months before she was forced to flee the country due to the coup.

During her time in Venezuela, Allende was a freelance journalist for El Nacional in Caracas from to and an administrator of the Marrocco School in Caracas from to [22]

Author

In , while in Caracas, Allende received a phone call informing her that her year-old grandfather was near death, and she sat down to write him a letter, hoping to thereby "keep him alive, at least in spirit." The letter evolved into a book, The House of the Spirits (); this work intended to exorcise the ghosts of the Pinochet dictatorship.

The book was rejected by numerous Latin American publishers, but eventually published in Buenos Aires. The book soon ran to more than two dozen editions in Spanish and was translated into a score of languages. Allende was compared to Gabriel García Márquez as an author in the style known as magical realism.[11][23]

Although Allende is often cited as a practitioner of magical realism, her works also display elements of post-Boom literature.

Allende also holds to a very strict writing routine.[24] She writes on a computer, working Monday to Saturday, to "I always start on 8 January", Allende stated, "a tradition she began in with the letter she wrote to her dying grandfather that would become The House of the Spirits."[25]

Allende's book Paula () is a memoir of her childhood in Santiago and the years she spent in exile.

It is written as an anguished letter to her daughter. In an error in Paula's medication resulted in severe brain damage, leaving her in a persistent vegetative state.[26] Allende spent months at Paula's bedside before learning that a hospital mishap had caused the brain damage. Allende had Paula moved to a hospital in California where she died on 6 December

Allende's novels have been translated into more than 42 languages and sold more than 77 million copies.[27] Her book, The Sum of Our Days, is a memoir.

It focuses on her life with her family, which includes her grown son, Nicolás; second husband, William Gordon; and several grandchildren.[27] A novel set in New Orleans, Island Beneath the Sea, was published in In came El cuaderno de Maya (Maya's Notebook), in which the setting alternates between Berkeley, California, and Chiloé in Chile, as well as Las Vegas, Nevada.

Reception

Latino Leaders Magazine called her a "literary legend" in a article naming her the third most influential Latino leader in the world.[28]

Her work has drawn some negative criticism. In an article published in Entre paréntesis, Roberto Bolaño called Allende's literature anemic, comparing it to "a person on his deathbed", and later called her "a writing machine, not a writer".[29][30][31] Literary critic Harold Bloom said that Allende only "reflects a determinate period, and that afterwards everybody will have forgotten her".[31][32] Novelist Gonzalo Contreras said that "she commits a grave error, to confuse commercial success with literary quality".[33]

Allende told El Clarín that she recognizes she has not always received good reviews in Chile, stating that Chilean intellectuals "detest" her.

However, she disagrees with these assessments:

The fact people think that when you sell a lot of books you are not a serious writer is a great insult to the readership. I get a little angry when people try to say such a thing. There was a review of my last book in one American paper by a professor of Latin American studies and he attacked me personally for the sole reason that I sold a lot of books.

That is unforgivable.[34]

It has been said that "Allende's impact on Latin American and world literature cannot be overestimated."[28] The Los Angeles Times called Allende "a genius",[28] and she has received many international awards, including the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize,[28] granted to writers "who have contributed to the beauty of the world".[28]

Celebrity

In , she was one of the eight flag bearers at the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.[35] She presented the talk Tales of Passion at TED [35] In , Allende received the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters from San Francisco State University for her "distinguished contributions as a literary artist and humanitarian."[36] In , Allende received the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters from Harvard University for her contributions to literature.

Politics

Although not as openly political as some of her contemporary writers, she expressed contempt for Donald Trump and his policies following his election in ,[37] and she later endorsed Democrat Joe Biden during the presidential election.[38] She has also regularly defended the record of her father's cousin, Salvador Allende.

Foundation

Allende started the Isabel Allende Foundation on 9 December , in honor of her daughter, Paula Frías Allende, who fell into a coma after complications of the disease porphyria led to her hospitalization.[39] Paula was 29 years old when she died in [40] The foundation is "dedicated to supporting programs that promote and preserve the fundamental rights of women and children to be empowered and protected."[28]

Personal life

In , she married for the third time, to Roger Cukras, a lawyer from New York.[5][41]

Allende had finished her secondary studies while living in Chile, when she met engineering student Miguel Frías whom she married in [3] They had two children, a son and a daughter.

Reportedly, "Allende married early, into an Anglophile family and a kind of double life: at home she was the obedient wife and mother of two; in public she became, after a spell translating Barbara Cartland, a moderately well-known TV personality, a dramatist and a journalist on a feminist magazine."[11]

Allende's and Frías's daughter Paula was born in ; she died in age In , Allende again returned to Chile, where her son Nicolás was born that year.[42]

In , she began a temporary separation from Miguel Frías.

She lived in Spain for two months, then returned to her marriage.[43] She divorced her first husband, Miguel Frías, in

During a visit to California on a book tour in , Allende met her second husband, California attorney and novelist William C. "Willie" Gordon. They married in July [44] In , she was awarded the Gabriela Mistral Order of Merit, the first woman to receive this honor.

Allende resides in San Rafael, California. Most of her family lives nearby, with her son, his second wife, and her grandchildren just down the hill, in the house she and her second husband vacated.[11] She separated from Gordon in April [4]
